push back at the world around me I've been the slave they made you see I've been the one they wanted me to be don't push me down I've been the one that they held back on the ground confused in a life that is so profound I've been the one they wanted me to be don't push me down the strength to overcome me the strength to rise again I'm pushing away at the things inside I'm running away but I cannot hide I'm pushing away at the things inside to overcome the strength to overcome me the strength to rise again push back at the ones who held me down break the chains that are cold and hold me bound still lost in a maze that now surrounds don't push me down been the blind that they forced me to be lost one in a world that's never free filled with hate in all degrees don't push me down watch them drown in the fear that is now me pay the piper, time to pay the fees watch them burn on a cross they made for me don't push me down the strength to overcome me the strength to rise again I'm pushing away at the things inside I'm running away but I cannot hide I'm pushing away at the things inside to overcome the strength to overcome me the strength to rise again
