Fork in the road
Looking both ways, I don't know which way to go
And what do I count on?
Do I take the road less travelled? Or the one I already know?
And, no, I'm not travelling alone
I got my heart in my hand, and you can bet I'm holding it close
I don't wanna climb, don't wanna fall
Don't know where to start it all
I can start by taking it slow
'Cause I need a hero, I got a mirror
Looking inside of my soul
If I need a hero, I got my mirror
And I go on with the show
I got my ear to the ground
That's the sound of my train comin' 'round
This is a chance for us to be heard loud
It's you and me, and it's our time now
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down now
Don't let me down
Don't let me down now
People
This is what you're living your life for
Fighter
That's your name (that's your name)
Trying to hide, but it's obvious you're a survivor
Believer
Don't let me travel it alone
That look in your eyes puts fire in the hearts of the cold
I got a marathon to try again
I'm not even trying to win
I'm just glad I'm not alone
'Cause I need a hero, I got a mirror
Looking inside of my soul
If I need a hero, I get my mirror
And I go on with the show
I got my ear to the ground
That's the sound of my train comin' 'round
This is a chance for us to be heard loud
It's you and me, and it's our time now
Don't let me down
Don't you let me down
Promise you won't let me down
Don't you let me down
Promise you won't let me down
You've been running so alone
I see you (I see you), oh
Told me we could change the world
And I believe it's true (oh, no), oh
There's nothing now to hold us down
I found my pains
And the sound of your heart led the way
I got my ear to the ground (oh)
That's the sound of my train comin' 'round (and round)
This is a chance for us to be heard loud
It's you and me, and it's our time now
Don't let me down
Don't you let me down (don't let me down)
Promise you won't let me down (don't let me down) (don't let me down now)
Don't you let me down (don't let me down now)
Promise you won't let me down (don't let me down now)
Don't let me down
Don't let me down now
