All My Life

All my life, I have known
It ain't easy on your own
And this time I spent alone
I called it free

All my life I have seen
People treating people mean
And they break each other's dream
So heartlessly

And I don't know why
We don't quit thinkin'
There's so much at stake
And this sadness leaves me aching
Don't you know we hold each other down?

All my life, I have tried
Not to leave the truth denied
Keep the little strings inside
In harmony

And I don't know why
We don't quit thinkin'
There's so much at stake
And this sadness leaves me aching
Don't you know we hold each other down?
Don't they know we hold each other down?
