D5
I stand up for my pride
D5
I don't want to be just like anyone
D5
In this world I cannot hide
D5
I must finish what I have begun
G Em A
That's the way I play
D5
In the modern day
G Em A
Because I want to stay
D5
In the modern day
D5
Got a picture in my mind
D5
Of the way that I wanna be
D5
So I search until I find
D5
The power inside of me
G Em A
It's another phase
D5
Of the modern day
[Chorus]
A G D
Got to face up to this life
A G D
Can't let it get the best of me
A G D
So I make a sacrifice
A G D5
If that's the way it has to be
