People say they care, but they don't give a damn

People say they care, but they don't give a damn, That's alright, I'm still becoming who I am. I'm going to the top, got my feet on the ground, Can't nobody stop me, I won't let myself down! I don't need a crowd, I can make it alone, The Creator gave me purpose, now I'm finding my road. They can throw distractions, they can question my vision, But I'm still going up, and I'm making that decision! [Outro – Spoken] Carlton Rutherford... You can't stop somebody who finally believes in himself. I ain't gotta prove I'm better than you. I just gotta be better than yesterday. And today... I'm going UP.I ain't giving up, got too much to live for, Been through hell, still standing at the door. If the world turns cold, I'll become that flame, I refuse to let my past become my name. I don't need gold, I just need peace, Want the ones forgotten to finally eat. If heaven's listening, hear my cry, I'm still searching for the reason why. [Outro – whispered] Another night gone by... And the sun comes up again. Back to day one... But I'm still here.
