"Who Am I Living For?"

Yeah-eh, yeah, yeah

I can feel a phoenix inside of me

As I march alone to a different beat

Slowly swallowing down my fear

Yeah, yeah

I am ready for the road less traveled

Suiting up for my crowning battle

This test is my own cross to bear

But I will get there

It's never easy to be chosen

Never easy to be called

Standing on the frontline

When the bombs start to fall

I can see the heavens

But I still hear the flames

Calling out my name

I can see the writing on the wall

I can't ignore this war

At the end of it all

Who am I living for?

I can feel this light that's inside of me

Growing fast into a bolt of lightning

I know one spark will shock the world

Yeah, yeah

So I pray for favor like Esther

I need your strength to handle the pressure

I know there will be sacrifice

But that's the price

It's never easy to be chosen

Never easy to be called

Standing on the frontline

When the bombs start to fall

I can see the heavens

But I still hear the flames

Calling out my name

I can see the writing on the wall

I can't ignore this war

At the end of it all

Who am I living for?

I can see the writing on the wall

I can't ignore this war

At the end of it all

Who am I living for?

At the end, at the end

Who am I living for?

At the end, at the end

Who am I living for?

Heavy is head that wears the crown

Don't let the greatness get you down

Heavy is head that wears the crown

Don't let the greatness get you down

Oh, yeah

I can see the writing on the wall

I can't ignore this war

At the end of it all

Who am I living for?

I can see the writing on the wall

I can't ignore this war

At the end of it all

Who am I living for?

At the end, at the end

Who am I living for?

At the end, at the end

Who am I living for?
