[Verse 1]
Nothing is written the way it oughta be
One lie befalls another
Walk on through the fire, the fire of a new day
And there's no one there to greet you
When nobody cares
Stop holding on so tightly
’cause you'll never be strong enough
To keep it from leaving
Walk into the night's fearless fever
So cold it makes you sweat

[Chorus]
Now who you gonna run to
Now that day’s gone and closed her eyes?
Nowhere to turn to, surrounded by nothing
We fight the current still

[Verse 2]
Too many excuses, talk of disparity
And still we turn the other way
Ask ourselves this question
"If it was you, what would you do?"
When nobody cares
Hate is the killer that is stalking
He's blind to the colors that bleed
The same blood as you and me
Just reach out and take my medicinal hand
[Chorus]
Now who you gonna run to
Now that day's gone and closed her eyes?
Nowhere to turn to, surrounded by nothing
We fight the current still

[Verse 3]
Stare at the water's reflection of me
I do not recognise the look that deceives
Who am I now that my future is gone?
How can I finish a fight that's been forgotten?

[Verse 4]
Usher seats us slowly with no reckoning
Another night you spend alone
It's a silent picture moving so fast
If only they could turn the sound up louder

[Chorus]
Now who you gonna run to
Now that day's gone and closed her eyes?
Nowhere to turn to, surrounded by nothing
We fight the current still

[Outro]
We fight the current still
We fight the current still
We fight the current still
We fight the current still
