[Verse 1]
We couldn't help but cry, when we were brought to life
Drug out by the cold, slapped a few times
To the rhythm in the flickering lights
With tightly closed sore eyes, we grow
To either be or hate what's cold
And that's when we learn to know

[Chorus]
Run, don't follow
Lead a life the best we know

[Verse 2]
It's hard to find your way through the darkness
It's hard to know what to believe
But if you live by your heart and value the love that you find
When you have all you need

[Chorus]
To run, don't follow
Lead a life the best you know

[Outro]
Let's talk about an independent stand
Let's talk about free form thought
It's not about living under command
So don't get caught
I get knocked down and then I get back up
(Live your heart and never follow)
I'll speak my mind, you can't cover it up
(Live your heart and never follow)
I'm picking up the pieces as they break and fall
(Live your heart and never follow)
I'll take on every day standing up, standing tall
(Live your heart and never follow)

Live your heart and never follow
(Live your heart and never follow)
Live your heart and never follow
(Live your heart and never follow)
