Verse 1:
I stand my ground, I won’t be swayed,
In a world where values start to fade,
Brick by brick, I’ve built this wall,
Refuse to bend, refuse to fall.
Pre-Chorus:
They say I’m stubborn, they say I’m wrong,
But this is where my heart belongs,
In the shadows of my pride,
I find the strength to stay inside.
Chorus:
I refuse to change, I won’t compromise,
In the face of doubt, I’ll rise,
Hold my head up high, through stormy skies,
I refuse to change, to compromise.
Verse 2:
I’ve walked this path, I’ve paid my dues,
In a world of many shades and hues,
But black and white, is where I stand,
With iron will, and steady hand.
Pre-Chorus:
They call me rigid, they call me blind,
But I see clear within my mind,
In the echo of my past,
I hear the voice that says to last.
Chorus:
I refuse to change, I won’t compromise,
In the face of doubt, I’ll rise,
Hold my head up high, through stormy skies,
I refuse to change, to compromise.
Verse 3:
Through sleepless nights and endless days,
I’ve seen the cost of different ways,
Temptation knocks, but I won’t yield,
My life’s a fortress, my heart’s a shield.
Pre-Chorus:
They say I’m cold, they say I’m tough,
But in this world, that’s not enough,
With every scar, and every tear,
I’ve found my truth, I’ve faced my fear.
Chorus:
I refuse to change, I won’t compromise,
In the face of doubt, I’ll rise,
Hold my head up high, through stormy skies,
I refuse to change, to compromise.
Bridge:
Even if the road turns cold and long,
I’ll find the courage to stay strong,
In every battle, in every fight,
I’ll stand my ground with all my might.
Instrumental Break:

Verse 4:
As seasons change and years go by,
I see the world with clearer eyes,
Though time may wear and life may test,
I hold my ground, I give my best.
Pre-Chorus:
They think I’m lost, they think I’m gone,
But in this place, I do belong,
In the quiet of my soul,
I find the strength to stay whole.
Chorus:
I refuse to change, I won’t compromise,
In the face of doubt, I’ll rise,
Hold my head up high, through stormy skies,
I refuse to change, to compromise.
Outro:
So here I am, with open eyes,
Against the tide, hear my cries,
With every step, and every stride,
I refuse to change, to compromise.
Final Chorus:
I refuse to change, I won’t compromise,
In the light of truth, I’ll rise,
Hold my head up high, through stormy skies,
I refuse to change, to compromise.
Final Outro:
With every breath and every fight,
I’ll stand my ground, face the night,
In this heart, my fire lies,
I refuse to change, to compromise.
