Battery


I'm running at full speed

With no intention of looking back

I'm as powerful as a rhino 

You can’t hold me back

 

Don’t think of turning me off

Or telling me I can’t

I’m as powerful as a rhino

And I’ll keep on fighting

 

The energy inside me

Is coming alive

It’s pushing me forward

And onward I stride

 

I feel the freedom in me

Changing and growing

 

But what is this I feel

The heartbeat has started slowing

I feel like I’m being dragged back

I try to fight it

But it’s getting too strong

I don’t think I can fight it

 

Should I keep going

Or give up now

I think it’s too late

 

But before I’m gone

One more push

To fight till the end

 

I’m as powerful as a rhino

You

Can’t

Hold

Me
