Uprooted Lyrics

This is my life
I will live it to the fullest, just try and stop me
I'm not wasting my time
I've been given a purpose, I will not let it die

I will not change for you, that doesn't mean that I'm not changing
I'm growing into the man that I was born to be
I'm chasing my dreams
I am living
I follow my convictions
This is my passion

9-5 never cut it for me this is life and I intend on living
You can try to say I'm wasting my time but just because I'm not you doesn't mean that you're right
I am convinced
We're so consumed with life, we've forgotten how to live

Don't hold me back
Cause I am trying to live my life the way I should
It won't make sense to you
And I doubt it ever could
This is the path for me, the only one I've ever known
And even if you're not by my side I am never alone

When will you see that this is the life for me
I will not conform to your way of living
You've made your bed so you could dream
But I've turned my dreams into reality

I am not alone
We are alive, and we will not be stopped
I am not alone
We are alive, and we will not be stopped

I am not alone
We are alive, and we will not be stopped

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
