Unyielding Fire: A Lone Voice's Triumph Over Pain and Injustice
Lyrics
I stood strong through right or wrong
I remained resilient in the face of both right and wrong.
I fought pain with time and hate
I combated suffering with the passage of time and resentment.
Here I stand alone and on fire
Here I am, standing alone and ablaze.
In a room with a view, a fence with barbwire
In a confined space with a vantage point, surrounded by obstacles.
Today my world ends and so theirs begins
Today marks the end of my world, as theirs begins.
Slowly trying to justify comparable sins
Gradually attempting to rationalize comparable wrongdoings.
I stand here alone and unafraid
I stand here, solitary and fearless.
I've known in my past I've done worse days
I acknowledge that in my past, I've experienced worse days.
I may be apart from my dreams and desires
I may be separated from my dreams and aspirations.
Yet no man can withhold me from what I most admire
Yet no one can prevent me from pursuing what I value the most.
I stood strong through right or wrong
I remained resilient in the face of both right and wrong.
I fought pain with time and hate
I combated suffering with the passage of time and resentment.
I'll fight
I will resist when they attempt to deprive me of my rights.
When they try to strip me of my rights
And I won't accept defeat.
And I won't
I will not acknowledge or yield to failure.
I won't accept defeat
Though I may be in a low state, I will not be defeated.
I may be down but I will not be beat
I have resilience even in the face of adversity.
One voice
One voice.
With pride I'll keep on striving till I die
With pride, I will persist until my death.
And never, never will I black out
I will never lose consciousness or give in.
The streets remain in heart without a doubt
The essence of the streets remains in my heart without a doubt.
One voice
One voice.
