A feeling so complex Almost impossible to define The constant change of heart and the war inside my mind A childhood lost, no identity. We left it all behind We paid the price for a better life Through the toil and the strife
The same poison that ran in his veins runs in mine To overcome a broken past I must draw the line And I rise above this bitter blood
The lack of trust to the world around us The constant fear of never fitting in Made me feel like I was born to lose Now I will live to win
Hours spent learning to cover up the shame All these fingers pointing, trying to pin the blame
I rise above this bitter blood The alienation and hostility I've known I stand trial through the fire and the mud I rise above this bitter blood
