Name: More Than This
Duration: P00H03M25S
Description: More Than This is a ballad that radically affirms our shared worth, a reminder that we are more than what we achieve or produce. We are more than just a collection of our successes and failures, or what we do for money. We can be more than the roles our history has attempted to dictate for us. If you can help me spread that message far and wide, I will be forever grateful.

lyrics

When you've tried everything you can think of
and you want to give up and there are no words
when you're lower than you thought you could go
and you weren't prepared for how much it hurts
when the world won't let you rise up
but you keep on fighting to prove 'em all wrong
you are more
you are more than this
you have been more all along

When you can't have the one thing that you need
and it's made you so lonely wanting it still
when you've stayed stuck on survival
every day's been a battle
every road goes uphill
when the world says you won't make it
but you keep pounding stakes in to claim you belong
you are more
you are more than this
you matter more
and the whole world is wrong
the whole world is wrong
