one against many

they tell you follow the crowd and go with the flow
but I say go with the sound and force the river to slow
stand up and let your voice ring loud here we~here we~here we go

stand up don't hide your mind away
speak up don't shut your mouth when you have something to say
just be who you are and let come what may

don't be one of many
be one against many
stay here and stay ready
they won't just let you be you
they think we're all clones and you should be too
but stay true and let you be you

it takes my round and round
trying to follow the sound
sometimes straight into the ground
but I get back up and won't show a frown
I won't let anything keep me down
I follow the sound so people try to change me
they tell me who I should be but just enrage me
and I follow it harder and now no one can save me from me

I won't be one of many
I'm one against many
I'm here and I'm ready
you won't just let me be me
we're not all clones why can't you see
why cant you just let me be me
