If you know you're right

when the others are wrong

it's hard to sit and take it

They treat you like you've lost your senses

Call you troublemaker



I'm not trying to cause you trouble

I don't wanna fight

Someone's got to stand up sometime

and do what's right



Just have the courage of

the courage of your convictions



People tell you do what's right

and set and good example

Sometimes right means who to hate

Listen to the people

I'm not trying to mess your mind up

but it's plain to see

People pulling from both sides

it's agitating me



So have the courage of

the courage of your convictions



People teaming up on sides

hating one another

Know your heart before you join

a team to hurt your brother



If there's a way to lead us from this

like in troubled times

it won't be found through blood and hate

but through courageous minds



chorus
