Do you remember how we used to be
A time with nothing in our way
We knew who we were, and life was ahead
We thought forever it would stay
But then we changed
We turned against ourselves
To prove our worth above the rest
A race began
You don't know where to run
Beginnings of this lifetime fight
To become number one
Be more than just a number
Don't let them win and take your life away
Remember your name, and be your own mind
Because you know there's so much more to be
You're so much more than just a number to me
And they'll attack you with their thoughts of you
Using their strength to make you fear
They're trying to make you their number
But don't give in when they appear
Without life, without love
You're just an empty heart
Before you know what's happening
You don't know who you are
One above the others
A mark against your skin
Is that all it means to you
Be more than just a number
Don't let them win and take your life away
Remember your name, and be your own mind
Because you know there's so much more to be
You're so much more than just a number to me
What happened to the life we used to have
The friendship we had before
We let the spirit come and take our lives away
Replaced with this endless war
And the lives we knew can be rebuilt again
If we stop chasing the sun
For the first is still a number
And if you run there, they have won
Be more than just a number
Don't let them win and take your life away
Remember your name, and be your own mind
Because you know there's so much more to be
Be more than just a number
Don't let them win and take your life away
Remember your name, and be your own mind
Because you know there's so much more to be
To rise from your sadness and bring back your life
You're so much more than just a number to me
