Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
you can stand me up at the gates of hell
but I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
and I'll keep this world from dragging me down
gonna stand my ground, and I won't back down

Hey baby, there is no easy way out
hey, I will stand my ground
and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushing me around
but I'll stand my ground, and I won't back down

Hey baby, there is no easy way out
hey, I will stand my ground
and I won't back down
