No, 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 dragging me down
Gonna stand my ground

I won't back down
I won't back down
I won't back down
I won't back down

Well, I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushing me around
But I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down

I won't back down
I won't back down
I won't back down
I won't back down

You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No, I won't back down
