If you're gonna live

then live it up

and if you're gonna give

then give it up

if you're gonna walk the earth

then walk it proud

and if you're gonna say the word

you got to say it loud



you got to fight for your mind

you got to fight for your mind

while you got the time

you got to fight for your mind



if you're gonna build a house

make it a home

if you're gonna pull some weight

pull your own

if you're gonna help

reach out your hand

if you're getting up

then take a stand



you got to fight for your mind

you got to fight for your mind

while you got the time

you got to fight for your mind



if you're gonna step

step on in

if you're gonna finish

you got to begin

don't you fear

what you don't know

just let that be

your room to grow



you got to fight for your mind

you got to fight for your mind

while you got the time

you got to fight for your mind
