Once upon sometime ago I swam upon the untold
Taking all my orders from some leader I don't know
Lots of this went on as their weakness intensified
Power only loves itself and that's the reason why

You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down

Fly above the people who need better angels more than you
Spread your wings like an eagle now, heal the heartless view
We don't need apologies, actually it's nothing new
Love only powers love, unlock the love in you

You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down

Take a look at your situation
And maybe you'll come around
It's not just me

You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down (it's not just me)
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down (no, it's not just me)
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down (one day you're gonna see)
(It's not just me)
