The Constant - Counterparts

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
