I've got a thousand opinions

and no time to explain

 

This is my body,

and no matter how you try

to disable it,

Yes, I'll still be here.

 

This is my mind,

and though you try to infringe

you cannot confine.

 

This is my brain,

and though you try 

to hold me back,

there is nothing you can gain.

 

This is my soul,

and though you try to reap it

your hate can take no toll.

 

Because, Yes I'll still be here

Because, Yes I will always still be here.

 

I've got a thousand opinions

I don't need to explain

and whatever you take

one thing will always remain,

Yes, I'll still be here.
