Can't break me
I know you can flood with rain,
Shower losses but no drop of gain,
Want to drown in fear and fill with pain,
Can drag me down the nasty drain.
But I'll swim even in the sea;
Keep in mind, you can't break me.
You can lock me in a room of dark,
Away from light, away from spark,
No warm feelings, no happy marks,
Surround with filthy dogs that bark.
I'll find the key that sets me free;
Keep in mind, you can't break me.
Try to pull me back, I'll cut the rope,
Take away the air, I'll breathe in hope,
Attack with problems, I'll cope,
Give me steeps, I'll make them slope.
I'll carve my way to destiny;
Keep in mind you can't break me.
