about

A song about succeeding despite the opinions of your critics and wanting them to see the success that they initially doubted.

lyrics

You really want to say these words?
Chose them carefully now
I’m hanging on to what I’ve heard
And I’ll shout it back, real loud

And a thousand stares will just cut you down
Better take more care when you throw that stuff around
Around

You say you haven’t done much wrong
Thought you’d help me out
You never thought I’d be so strong
But let’s turn it all around

So a thousand stares will just cut you down
Do you think I care when I call you out
Call you out

Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet.
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, chains fall round my feet

You’re coming with me or you’re out
There’s no in between
The chains you’re making pull me down
You don’t think they’re real, but I see

There’s a thousand reasons to break away
But then all I see is you standing in my way
Standing in my way

Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet.
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall down

 
Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet.
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, chains fall round my feet

Say you didn’t do much wrong
Never thought I’d be so strong
But now you see me holdin’ on, holdin’ on
Never been so strong
And I’ll carry on
So just run along

Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, chains fall down

Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet.
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, chains fall round my feet

And a thousand stares will cut you down
They’ll just cut you down
And a thousand stares will cut you down
You cannot do no wrong
And a thousand stares will cut you down
I will carry on and I’ll carry on
And a thousand stares will cut you down
It’s a thousand stares
And a thousand stares will cut you down
So just run along, run along, run along
And a thousand stares will cut you down
Never been so strong
They’ll cut you down

And a thousand stares will cut you down
