[Intro] — Low Guitar Riff Dun… dun-dun… DUN… [Verse 1] I walked through the ashes With a shadow on my back Every road I ever trusted Left another crack I heard the world say, “Boy, you better turn around” But something deep inside me Said, “You ain’t going down” [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been beaten I’ve been broken I’ve been buried underground But the deeper that they pushed me The harder I came back out [Chorus] I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH I LEFT WITH FIRE IN MY HANDS I LOST SOME THINGS I NEVER WANTED BUT I FOUND OUT WHO I AM NO, I WON’T BOW NO, I WON’T BREAK I’VE GOT A FIRE THEY CAN’T TAKE I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH NOW I’M STANDING WHERE I STAND! [Verse 2] Every scar became a lesson Every failure fed the flame I stopped running from the thunder When I learned to love the rain They can talk behind my back They can throw their stones and lies But I’ve stared into the darkness And I watched that darkness die [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been tested I’ve been shaken I’ve been pushed against the wall But you don’t know what you’re made of Till you’ve got nowhere left to fall [Chorus] I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH I LEFT WITH FIRE IN MY HANDS I LOST SOME THINGS I NEVER WANTED BUT I FOUND OUT WHO I AM NO, I WON’T BOW NO, I WON’T BREAK I’VE GOT A FIRE THEY CAN’T TAKE I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH NOW I’M STANDING WHERE I STAND! [Bridge] You thought the flame was dying… I WAS JUST LEARNING HOW TO BURN. You thought I lost my way… I WAS JUST WAITING FOR MY TURN. Silence MY TURN! FULL BAND EXPLODES [Final Chorus] I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH I LEFT WITH FIRE IN MY HANDS I WALKED THROUGH HELL AND KEPT ON WALKING NOW I’M FINALLY WHO I AM! NO, I WON’T BOW NO, I WON’T BREAK I’VE GOT A FIRE THEY CAN’T TAKE LET THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD HEAR ME SAY— I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH! I LEFT WITH FIRE IN MY HANDS! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE IN MY HANDS!
