The Hand That Holds You Down Lyrics by The Mission in Motion

Somewhere Safe

2010

[Verse 1]
We never seem to be satisfied
You seem to think that I've lost my mind
You'll see a change in me
And timing is everything
So draw a line in the sand
Choose your side
Cause I won't accept routine
So don't belief all you see
[Chorus]
Morale is high, but there's no guarantees
(That will run dry)
The crowd will lead to where you wanna be
(Times are changing, oh)
All we are is all we are, that's it
Don't be guided by the hand that holds you down
[Verse 2]
We never seem to be satisfied
Just give me one more try
Okay, one last time
But it's unrealistic, you're aiming too high
It's mine name, not yours, on the dotted line
Soldier on, my friends
[Chorus]
Morale is high, but there's no guarantees
(That will run dry)
The crowd will lead to where you wanna be
(Times are changing, oh)
All we are is all we are, that's it
Don't be guided by the hand that holds you down
[Bridge]
I feel this rise to the surface and I work to fulfill a purpose
I can't be alone in this
I can't be alone in this
(Soldier on!)
[Chorus: Variation]
Morale is high, but there's no guarantees
The crowd will lead to where you wanna be
All we are is all we are, that's it
That's it...
[Chorus]
Morale is high, but there's no guarantees
(That will run dry)
The crowd will lead to where you wanna be
(Times are changing, oh)
All we are is all we are, that's it
Don't be guided by the hand that holds you down
(All we are)
Don't be guided by the hand that holds you down
(Soldier on!)
