Laugh through my tears, laugh through my tears
I'm a warrior; I'll fuckin' last through the years
Never hold me down and yo I'll fight for my brothers
This is how to be a man - I won't surrender to my fears, oi
Laugh through my tears, laugh through my tears
I'm a warrior; I'll fuckin' last through the years
Never hold me down, you know I'd die for my lovers
This is how to be a man - I won't surrender to my fears
In a race this animalistic, need grace to be pacifistic
It's kind of difficult trying to keep up compassion when facing the cannibalistic
And I say they eat those that are just like them 'cause they ain't got perspective
It'd be so easy to dwell in hate to escape bein' ever reflective
But I'd rather fall in love and know that I made her safe at night
So I claw my way through the mud of mental illness and hope there's a way in sight
Seen enough of the world to expect there will always be less fun than war
But I don't care how many times you knock me down I will never succumb to the floor
And I hate all the horrible shit that I done in the past that I don't condone
Every day replay the events in which I earned the regrets I own
The mistakes I made motivate me still to improve and I know I've grown
I'll build me into the man who I should have been then if it puts me under a stone
As we age most of us accept that we won't be the ones who come to a throne
The way that I think has largely led to a path that I wonder alone
But every time I fall I see that my life's gonna always know disorder
I learn that to make it you gotta be loose and ready to adapt to the flow like water
That's why I've gotta stand and guard my own now
'Cause we all gonna die alone now
And though the gods keep on takin'
I will go on through the storm, stay the course, carry on now
