You can close the door, But you can't shut me out. You can bang on drums But you can't drown me out You can beat me to the ground But up I will get You can shout the odds But it won't hold any threat You can humiliate me in a crowded room... You can laugh at the times I'm filled with gloom You can love it when I crumble to the ground You can hate it when I don't stay down You can hold all the power because it's yours to lose You can use it with the intension to cause pain if you chose You can dig me out of happiness... You can try to fill me with bitterness You can hide inside your lies You can be unmerciful to my pleading cries! But what hasn't worked yet probably never will! So who is the one with the strongest will? If you haven't destroyed me when you re through... Then I know I'm the winner and the loser is you! « return. |
