[Verse 1]
Do you think about everything you've been through?
You never thought you'd be so depressed
Are you wondering, "Is it life or death?"
Do you think that there's no one like you?

[Pre-Chorus]
We are, we are, we are

[Chorus]
We are the ones, we get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones, we get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one

[Verse 2]
The life I think about is so much better than this
I never thought I'd be stuck in this mess
I'm sick of wondering, "Is it life or death?"
I need to figure out who's behind me

[Pre-Chorus]
We are, we are, we are

[Chorus]
We are the ones, we get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones, we get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one

[Bridge]
The life I think about is so much better than this
I never thought I'd be stuck in this mess
I'm sick of wondering, "Is it life or death?"

[Chorus]
We are the ones, we get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones, we get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one

[Outro]
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd (Crowd)
(We stand) We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd (We Stand)
We stand above the crowd
(We are the ones) We stand above the crowd
(We get knocked down get back up) We stand above the crowd
(We are the ones) We stand above the crowd
(We get knocked down get back up) We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd

Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1997 and now based in Toronto. Consisting of lead vocalist Matt Walst, lead guitarist Barry Stock, drummer Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst, the band is best known for their metal-influenced, hard rock sound and clever songwriting.

TDG grew out of Groundswell, a five-member high-school band founded in 1992. With Adam Gontier as lead vocalist, Neil Sanderson as drummer, Brad Walst as bassist, Phil Crowe as lead guitarist, and Joe Grant as rhythm guitarist, Groundswell released one album, Wave of Popular Feeling in 1995. That same year, the band broke up, and it was not until 1997 that Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst got together as “Three Days Grace”.

Working with local producer Gavin Brown, the trio re-worked a number of their past songs and compiled a demo album. After handing it to EMI Music Publishing Canada, TDG produced their smash single “I Hate Everything About You”, which would be released in 2003 alongside their eponymous debut album Three Days Grace through American label Jive Records.
