[Spoken Word Intro] — You hear me, son? ... Listen to me closely. Life won’t always be easy... And there will be moments when your hands just drop. But you have to know: your strength is inside, within you. The main thing... is always to remain yourself. And keep moving forward, no matter what. [Transition to singing] [Build-up] [Verse 1] Can you feel your hEart? Is it beating? You’re alive, Which means — forget it all, forget what people are all saying. Keep going on, even when pain makes your teeth clench and all around is dark, When those you really trusted showed you how rotten they are at heart. You stand alone at a crossroads, surrounded by filthy schemes, And you can see this life will teach you more than a hundred clever dreams. They spat straight into your back while you were rising from your knees, They were all just waiting, hoping that you’d break and never breathe. So wipe away this dirt, clench your teeth, pull every strength you’ve got and move ahead. You came here, into this brutal world, to be the victor! Not, To let them beat you down and break you into pieces... [Chorus] While you are breathing and your heart is truly beating, Forget it all, all of them, each one who stands there laughing. Let them all shout and push their faces in your space, Your soul is so much stronger, you deserve a better place. Out of pure spite, just smile when everything around you’s cracking, tearing, While you are breathing and your heart is truly beating, Forget the ones who stand behind your back and laugh at you. [Verse 2] On your skin there are the hidden scars, you won’t tell of them to anyone. You are your own God and your judge and healer, Taught yourself how life is done. Hyenas only dare when in a pack, when they smell some easy prey, But you walk alone on fragile ice when there is no one near today. Let them take the cash and clothes and all their cheap and cozy air, Your job is to survive where from people only dirty traces linger there. So wipe away this dirt, clench your teeth, pull every strength you’ve got and move ahead. You came here, into this brutal world, to be the victor! Not, To let them beat you, crush and break you into pieces... [Chorus] While you are breathing and your heart is truly beating, Forget it all, all of them, each one who stands there laughing. Let them all shout and shove their filthy mouths in place, Your soul is so much stronger, you deserve a better place. Out of pure spite, just smile when everything around you’s cracking, tearing, While you are breathing and your heart is truly beating, Forget the ones who stand behind your back and laugh at you. [Verse 3] Let them shout that you are lost, let them scare you with the darkness, Punch straight through this wall in front with your own steady, fearless hand. When it all is finally done, every hidden mask will fall, And you will see only fear inside those whose blood is boiling now with hate. [Chorus] While you are breathing and your heart is truly beating, Forget it all, all of them, each one who stands there laughing. Let them all shout and push their faces in your space, Your soul is so much stronger, you deserve a better place. Out of pure spite, just smile when everything around you’s cracking, tearing, While you are breathing and your heart is truly beating, Forget the ones who stand behind your back and laugh at you. [Outro] You hear me, son? It is beating, you’re alive! Which means — to hell with all of those who laugh behind your back... [End]
