The Contender - Mark Foster (w/ lyrics)

[@swimmchick21]

his solo work is totally on par with his ftp work... which is insanely amazing.

[@kumquatzz]

Foster should compile all of his singles into an album.. that would make me very happy.. :)

[@EurekaFoster27]

I love how inspiring his songs are. They all have such a great message :)

[@coopermccormick]

He says "an army's rising to face it all" to go along with "so arm me with an arsenal."

[@dashy90210]

I took the lyrics you had and improved them. Here's what I got.
The lyrics in brackets are ones that I'm not too sure about.
Hey
Hide me
Protect my name
Worried
They'll track me down up here
When will you look here (When will a cure?)
You're lost again (you're forced again)
Don't be alone
I'm all alone
They don't love
They don't care
And they'd kill me if they could
Save them and then save me
I can't do it by myself
I'm not scared
Their ridicule has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something
When I drag past waking moments
You are there
When I crawl back in my room
You are there
When I want to stone the stars
You are there
And I never look behind
'Cause you tell me where to run
They don't love
They don't care
they'd kill me if they could
Save them and then save me
I can't do it by myself
I'm not scared
Their ridicule has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something
I can't go on with this anymore
Oh and I'll love you however it may go
When hope is rising to face it all
To save us from ourselves
So help me with an arsenal
Oh
Wasn't never been afraid
I'll say that
More than Imma be afraid
I'll say that
I'll never be afraid
I'll say that
Because you've always loved me
They don't love
They don't care
And they'd kill me if they could
Save them and then save me
I can't do it by myself
I'm not scared
Their ridicule has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger
And it makes me stronger
And it makes me stronger
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something
Yeah, Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something
Yeah, yeah

[@alexalopez8768]

first verse where y'all aren't sure, i'm positive he says "when will i hear/your voice again?"

[@nonsensicalabyss]

Also, I heard "They don't know" instead of "They don't love"

[@weedy1718]

Love this song so much ❤️

[@xUniversalGeek]

Mark Foster is one of the missing "Beatles" or "Beach Boys" he was born in the wrong era or music, today more than half of the kids like the rap and shit like that, it makes me sad that mark foster and his band isn't as noticed as they should be

[@Bstknk]

I completely agree with you. Music nowadays is just repetitive melodicless boring sounds that people listen to just for popularity. I miss it when music was actually fun like this song.

[@pegski1]

what a voice. Love THIS SONG.

[@chanelpersaud3486]

So true! xD my friends and I love fosterthepeople but when I ask them 'Hey! Have you listened to the contender by Mark Foster?' Their all like. 'Huh? Are you sure he made that song? I listened to all FTP songs.' And I'm like. "No you haven't and this isn't a FTP song its a single by Mark Foster!' And then they feel like idiots

[@abcdonut]

ill msg you and put it up on the description box! x

[@Kchacon9012]

mark has an old soul... I think he was born in the wrong era of music

[@tacosrfunny]

[@ish136]

i love mark foster's experiment with sounds but it's really shocking to know that this song's music was actually lifted from coldplay's "clocks" :/
that was a tad too disappointing...

[@goalamayahala2541]

meh...
