C D Bm Em
Got no time to sit on the sidelines and watch ‘em play,

People around the world, people around the world.
C D Bm Em
Gotta strike like lightning, and shine like we’re not afraid,
C D Bm Em
People around the world say

I’m alive,
Bm Em
I’m breathing today,

C D Bm Em
And I won’t live my life afraid, hey!

No, nobody can relieve me of my ghosts,

Though they come and go,

I’m the one with the guts to stay.
