about

It's easy to remain how we have always been....to stay small and hold back from becoming who we want to be. This song is about choosing to push forward and to take the broken parts and let them be made into something beautiful.

lyrics

Oh, you can be bigger than
the trees that rise up to block your view
Oh, it takes a bigger man
To realise his size is not his jewel.

You won't back down
Carry on and push against the rule
Won't back down
Nothing could taste sweeter than the truth

Oh, you don't need to be
Like a jar freshly glazed from the kiln
Oh, when you see the cracks
You gotta let the gold fill it in

You won't back down
Carry on and push against the rule
Won't back down
Nothing could taste sweeter than the truth

Haven't seen you in a while
I woke up to see you smile
But still you want to turn and run
Now we're back where you begin
Hold my hand don't hold it in
Happiness is a loaded gun

I won't back down
Carry on and push against the rule
Won't back down
Nothing could taste sweeter than the truth

Won't back down
Carry on and push against the rule
Won't back down
Nothing could taste sweeter than the truth.
