Once upon a time, when I was far too weak inside

To find another way to break apart from what they all denied

Now I see through my eyes and disbelieve how I let this stay here infesting me

You held me down underground

I'm too strong for that now

You taught me well, brace myself

I've come too far to fail me now

Speak to me in ways that I can't teach

You've pulled wool over eyes that were meant to see

Make no mistakes, no time can't erase this

And I'm taking back all that was meant for me

Meant for me

You held me down underground

I'm too strong for that now

You taught me well, brace myself

I've come too far to fail me now

Speak the truth, you knock me down

It's just another way to play this time around

So when I speak like this, you'll listen now

It's just another way to play the game

You held me down, showed me how

To find my own way

You taught me well, brace myself

I find my own way

You held me down underground

I'm too strong for that now

You taught me well, brace myself

I've come too far to fail me now
