I forge ahead defiantly
Chest puffed out
Clenched fists high in the sky
Many are shy, others wonder why
I'll tell why

Before they defeat you
They break you, break your spirit
Subjugate your mind with threats and consequences
Doubt then takes over
Before you know it, they own you

I choose to liberate my mind
I silence the voices
And lace my boots
One foot in front of the other
I march,
The echos of my victory will reverberate cross the world
