Once upon sometime ago I swam upon the untold Taking all my orders from some leader I don't know Lots of this went on as their weakness intensified Power only loves itself and that's the reason why You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down Fly above the people who need better angels more than you Spread your wings like an eagle now, heal the heartless view We don't need apologies, actually it's nothing new Love only powers love, unlock the love in you You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down Take a look at your situation And maybe you'll come around It's not just me You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down (it's not just me) You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down (no, it's not just me) You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down (one day you're gonna see) (It's not just me)
