This Light I Hold

(album: This Light I Hold - 2016)

I feel the spotlight. I see their eyes.
They lit a fire just to burn me alive.
I feel the judgment. I hear the lies,
But I won't go down without a fight.
I won't go down without a fight.
I'm not going down.

I hear them twist my words and mock everything I'm saying.
They hope I'll crash and burn but I'm here and I'm staying.
It's like everywhere I turn, my enemies are waiting
To hurt me cause they're hurt, so I keep on praying.

I feel the spotlight. I see their eyes.
They lit a fire just to burn me alive.
I feel the judgment. I hear the lies,
But I won't go down without a fight.

I'm here & I'm not leaving until I'm finished.
With every punch you throw, I'll get back up & go.
Hate me, but I never said you had to listen.
This story is my own and this light I hold will glow.

They stabbed me in the back, but these scars have made me stronger.
Always under attack but I can't be conquered.
Remind me of what I lack and hope I won't last much longer.
Try to push me off track but I'll stay right here with my honor.

I'm here and I'm not leaving until I'm finished.
With every punch you throw, I'll get back up and go.
Hate me, but I never said you had to listen.
This story is my own and this light I hold will glow.
This light I hold will glow.

You should know by now, you can't just push me out.
I will not let this go.
I might be bruised and beat but I am on my feet.
You'll never win this war.
This story is my own.
With my hands raised up high I'll keep fighting the good fight and I am not alone.
This light I hold will glow!

I'm here and I'm not leaving until I'm finished.
With every punch you throw, I'll get back up and go.
Hate me, but I never said you had to listen.
This story is my own and this light I hold will glow.
This light I hold will glow.

I feel the spotlight. I see their eyes.
They lit a fire just to burn me alive.
I feel the judgment. I hear the lies,
But I won't go down without a fight.
