There's blood on my home town where laws are forsaken
I walk down the road of trials and tribulations
So beg me my pardon 'cause I need salvation
Don't act like you know me from false information

I've seen death it's beautiful
I've seen love it's sufferable
I'm not scared anymore darling, darling
Ain't no one gon' break my bones
I grew up with sticks and stones
Can you hear my countries call?
Calling, calling, calling

Life ain't for wasting
This is my one and only
These boots I'm lacing
They been from hell up to the stars, stars, stars
They been from hell up to the stars, stars, stars
Can't find no home in this old heart
They been from hell up to the stars, stars, stars
I've been from hell up to the stars, stars, stars

My Pa in a jailhouse
My Mom working late hours
Need to grow up a man now
No cuts no hand outs

Now I'm running on cold flames
With the poison in my brain
Every cheque is a life change
You see why my life changed?

'Cause I've seen death it's beautiful
I've seen love it's sufferable
I'm not scared anymore darling, darling
Ain't no one gon' break my bones
I grew up with sticks and stones
Can you hear my countries call?
Calling, calling, calling

Life ain't for wasting
This is my one and only
These boots I'm lacing
They been from hell up to the stars, stars, stars
They been from hell up to the stars, stars, stars
Can't find no home in this old heart
They been from hell up to the stars, stars, stars
I've been from hell up to the stars, stars, stars

If I lay down my soul to keep
Can heaven wake me up?
'Cause I don't know where I will be
But I know where I'm from

Life ain't for wasting
This is my one and only
These boots I'm lacing
They been from hell up to the stars
They been from hell up to the
