But my weapons Everything you have shot at me hasn’t killed me It has made me stronger Its given me the bullet proof vest It made me smarter Which is my net that keeps me from falling Now I stand taller It has just pushed me to be a fighter Against people like you Now I know that God didn’t mean to curse me He had blessed me He prepared for something that’s coming I thought at first You had broken me in half Stolen my heart Stolen my laugh Didn’t kill me to make me suffer But now I have all my treasures back And so much more For now I am Stronger Made me smarter Made me stand taller So now I am no longer in the dark No longer am I black inside I had well crossed that side of the line Now I am standing on the other side In the bright light Dressed in white Pure inside But those daggers that I used to let twist in my back Now I pluck out and use them to fight The wounds I would let bleed and scar Have healed and gone away And all those bad memories I used to replay in my head I use them to show how I was And now I know it made me stronger It has made me smarter It has made me stand taller No longer a dark coward I am now the pure fighter Along with Arch Angel Michael « return. |
