You Were Not There Lyrics

Let's say this is the first real moment of our lives that we ever felt alive. no we stand by ourselves, by overselves, with all these strangers who do not know what we've been through. let's say this is the first time that we ever, that we ever felt a lot. we've worked so hard, not like you care. there were times that we felt like giving up, and you were not there. (get some) you still try to bring us down, but we will always stand our ground. now watch me as i, now watch me as i stand strong. i stand strong. i stand strong. giving it our all. won't back down. day or night, east or west cause we believe in ourselves. all we wanted was respect, and you couldn't give us that.
