I look out the only window I have left
All the others gone as consequence of theft
I used to believe in others as I let down my walls
Little did I know that would be my downfall
But I look around at all these different faces
All reminding me of familiar
places
I try to give up to just stop this long fight
There's no giving up this fight is my right
Break me down knock me to the mat
I'll show you where true strength is at
Throw a punch at me hoping to get me out
I'll show you what life is really
about
I grab my walls and with a shout tear them down
I let my astonishing love seem to surround
Life gets up and throws all it thinks it has
But I show life all it knows is my past
I dodge the query of shots and torment
And I unleash my rage infested torrent
No one makes me give up no one takes my fight
I'll show life that the dark is only at night
Every morning the sun rises and entices us to fight on
You have different talents it doesn't have to be brawn
But don't give up don't back down show life this is your playground
Word by word letter by letter get back up and continue
The only thing that's preventing you is you
You mistake giving up as fighting by not fighting
Well then fighting for nothing means you've lost sight
Take a blow and deliver one back this life is all we got
Give up or fight on but won't you want to be remembered as the one who fought
