I Won't Back Down

one of the worst tragedies in American history.
Like everyone, I’m struggling to understand
what happened that night
and how to pick up the pieces and heal.
So many are hurting.
There are children, parents, brothers, sisters, friends.
They’re all part of our family.
So I wanna say to them: we hurt for you, and we hurt with you.
But you can be sure that we’re gonna walk through
these tough times together every step of the way.
Because when America is at its best, our bond,
and our spirit it’s unbreakable.
Well, I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down
No, I’ll stand my ground
Won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won’t back down
(I won’t back down)
Hey, baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(I won’t back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
Well I know what’s right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I’ll stand my ground
And I won’t back down
(I won’t back down)
Hey, baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(I won’t back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(I won’t back down)
Hey, I won’t back down
(I won’t back down)
Hey, baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(I won’t back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
No, we won’t back down
