Spinning light blinding my sight
There's a pressure to do what you want me to
Values you hold, yet still sell your soul
It's a bitter disguise in which you cannot hide no more

Come hell or come high water
Gotta let the truth be my guide in a universe of lies
Come hell or come high water
Cause I know this is my life, there's only one chance to make it right

Judgement calls and I take the fall
Just cause I don't believe there practice in your preach
What makes you think what's right for you is right for me?
No compromise, y'all, I gotta be what I gotta be
I gotta be me, yeah!

Come hell or come high water
Gotta let the truth be my guide in a universe of lies
Come hell or come high water
Cause I know this is my life, there's only one chance to make it right

Come on, come on, do it.
Come on, come on, see it.
Come on, come on, believe it.

We're standing on shaky ground, the lost never found
It's a bitter disguise in which you cannot hide,
No more hiding, yeah!

Come hell or come high water
Gotta let the truth be my guide in a universe of lies
Come hell or come high water
Cause I know this is my life, there's only one chance to make it right
