I can’t no longer stand the pressure
To find a place in this world.
In a world full of guidelines and templates
Full of demands and conditions
A world that cannot accept any variance
A world that cannot suffer the difference
What’s the definition of freedom in those days?
who sets the rules?
Who sets the attributes to be compatible?
All these questions, all these doubts
Only one knowledge:
It’s finally time to stand up straight
It’s finally time to stand up straight / for my beliefs
It’s over…..enough is enough
I will quit…..all those sleepless nights
The only thing that counts is this life in my hands
The only thing that counts is to break these chains
Once again you analyse, your head shakes in refusal, your look is worth a thousand words
Contempt rolls over me, your lack of understanding drives me to despair drives me to despair!!
Pushed aside, expelled, have my back against the wall, but I know that it’s right,
I’m holding on to this
Never throw away your pride, it’s the highest gift you could ever own, it’s the energy
That keeps you alive
The look in the mirror, without turning away, walking through the streets with my head up high
To stand up for your faith, do you know that feeling, or is it even strange to you?
Is it strange for you?
May be, this is the hard way, I walk along my path, in the end it will pay
It fills my heart with pride
I’ll take it all back, my faith, my love, my hope, it means the world to me
Means the world to me
Take it back!!
Your Faith
Your Love
Your Hope
Your Freedom
