You Can Win.


Keep your head down

Keep your eye on the prize

Don’t worry about what they think

All they breathe is lies

They don’t want you to wake up

They don’t want you to succeed

They just want to see you fail

Watch you struggle, watch you bleed

See you begging on your knees

See you fight the urge to grieve

As you’re praying on your knees

You fight to stay, don’t want to leave

Hold your breath, count to ten

You can’t go, it’s not the end

You’re a fighter, you can’t quit

You will make it, I insist

You are stronger than you know

I can see you’re at a low

But you can’t just give in now

You can win if you learn how
