When you climb the hill of vision As above so it was below Through the apathy and derision Each step ascending into [?] And when they pin you in the corner Pay no heed to their droning on 'Cause you're not going back where you don't belong Well you rose up through the ranks now And you worked hard for your luck You've only got yourself to thank now You and everybody else in the book And there are hidden hands to guide you The forces now at play But you've got to learn to get out of the way Oh no, don't settle Oh whoa, not yet Oh-oh, don't settle For less May your song ring true and bright now And behold by your might As the day gives way to night now May it echo true and loud And when they turn your words against you Try to grind you to the ground Let them know that they might beat you But they'll never turn you around Oh no, don't settle Oh woah, not yet Oh-oh, don't settle For less Well you swore no one's allegiance You're a coward by no one's hand You outgrew your apses With your own corner of the land And when they set their sight upon you Come to mine this seam you struck May you bid them well and wish them luck Oh no, don't settle Oh woah, not yet Oh-oh, don't settle And don’t forget What Liam Clancy said "No envy, no anger, no cruelty, no regrets No jealousy, no anger , no confusion, don’t forget No, no anger, no incredulity, show respect No envy, no anger, no judgement on the one lest you forget Lest you forget what they did to you Why mess up your allegiance until the end Cry out and see it No envy, no anger, no judgement on the one lest you forget Lest you forget, my love Cry it loud until the end" 'Cause you're not going back where you don't fit
