Time after time
The world is pressing down
On your shoulders
I know how you feel
Like you're the only one
Taking orders
It's hard to come to terms
With what seems so unfair
But somewhere in your life
You've got someone who cares

[Chorus:]
And I'll speak those honeyed words
Yeah, I'll speak those honeyed words
'Cos I know them all

Don't get worn down
It's much too easy to
Be defeated
Stand strong and proud
And let them know
That you won't be beaten
And if you start to waver
Or you start to shake
Just stand up and be counted
Don't begin to break

[Chorus]

So if you think you'll weaken
Resolution overthrown
Remember all we've said
And you are not alone

[Chorus]
