Fourteen years of "school" I've head,
but nothing means nothing
If I'm not here to learn.

I've had my wants, both good and bad,
but nothing means nothing
If I'm not here to yearn.

I've had my times, the sad and fun,
but nothing will matter
If I'm not here to cry.

I've slept beneath the moon and sun,
but nothing will matter,
If I'm not here to lie.

So 'til the end I will fight,
and this WILL mean something,
Because I'll fight to learn.

Nothing can dim my light,
and this WILL mean something,
Because I'll fight to yearn.

And I know I'll find a way,
and this WILL matter,
Because I'll fight to give.

And I'll live to see the day,
when this does matter,
Because I fought to live
