Defiance

Got a broken heart Got an anxious mind Got a hopeless voice inside But I'm fighting Yeah I've got a few knives And a million scars I know I've got to keep up my guard When did it get so hard? Sometimes I can't lift my eyes Above my tears Sometimes I can't see the light Beyond my fears Try to kill my drive but I'm fighting Try to hold me down but I'm rising Try to tell me I can't do this but I'm trying I'm fighting, I'm rising, I am defying This battle is not insignificant This battle is not insignificant All I can do is carry on All I can do is carry on Sometimes I can't lift my eyes Above my tears Sometimes I can't see the light Beyond my fears Try to kill my drive but I'm fighting Try to hold me down but I'm rising Try to tell me I can't do this but I'm rising I'm fighting, I'm rising, I am defying And all I can do is keep on fighting And all I can do is keep on fighting For every rejection For every dismissal For every time I was told I'm not welcome For every doubt For every attack Your hate is my weapon I'm fighting back For every rejection For every dismissal For every time I was told I'm not welcome For every doubt For every attack Your hate is my weapon I'm fighting back Got a broken heart Got an anxious mind Got a helpless bind And I'm losing time Try to kill my drive Try to make me drown But when I am down I'm fighting Try to kill my drive Try to make me doubt Try to make me drown But when I am down I'm fighting I'm rising I am defying And all I can do is keep on fighting
