this light i hold

Memphis May Fire

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
And I'm not leaving 'til 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
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 'til 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 'til 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
