The Constant (Lyrics)

I will graciously accept that my life’s work, whether it be in the past, the present, or the future It will be overshadowed by those around me With a different definition of “success” Though I can’t explain the path I’ve chosen, All I know is I’m right where I need to be And though I’ve turned down a chance at fame and fortune, I know that there is no greater payment than this And I’m so fucking far from the life I’m supposed to lead, and the man I’m supposed to be and I couldn’t be happier And I will remain a constant, I know where I stand, and I refuse to let their selfishness take control of who I am Take control of who I am Take control of who I am And while I may die poor, at least my life had meaning There’s more to life than living, and I truly feel alive And I know that when I die, There will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place This is our song of protest I promise you that nothing is slowing us down I promise you That nothing is slowing us down And while I may die poor, at least my life had meaning There’s more to life than living and I truly feel alive And I know that when I die, There will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place And I will laugh in the face of those who tell me different And I will laugh in the face of those who tell me different Even with both of my feet planted firmly on the ground, I am free to move in my own direction I will remain a constant I know where I stand I KNOW WHERE I STAND I know where I stand I know where I stand I know where I stand
