Some people live out selfish desire Some choose to shout when they speak and they'll be the star Caught in the flame of those deep in fire Seeking out those with a voice, one for tomorrow They say we've lost our minds We've just gained control Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free Fly past the edge of the sea No bended knee No mockery Somehow we still carry on (Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear) Silence your fear, we've got to move higher High like the stars in the sky, guiding us all Battle the will of those who conspire Take back the passion to live, vanish the sorrow Destroy their perfect crime, watch the power fold Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free Fly past the edge of the sea No bended knee No mockery Somehow we still carry on Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free Fly past the edge of the sea No bend in knee No mockery Somehow we still carry on Carry on
