I need a witness, today I become a man Tonight I will end this Enduring, inhaling, waiting on this tide to come in These waves keep tormenting, crashing down on everything I have left Barely able to withstand the pressure of life's cascading tests With passion I pursue Eager to conquer I still push on With passion I pursue Well I'm an open book, still pushing on I'm just waiting on that splash of fresh air Something to ease life's heavy load That relinquishing last breath Just to know that I made it past another day Just to know that I made it there unscathed An empty barren carcass, armed with a mind With ambition for victory, I confide To encourage, invoking all that's inside (Repeat) I prevail over every wicked bitter thing you've said We, we prevail, mere champions among men Finally I can breathe again My lungs no longer filled with disbelief This lighthouse still guiding me home I can breathe again WE WITHSTOOD, WE DEFEATED, WE HELD OUR GROUND No longer choking on failure's thick heavy scent, WE MOVE ON Tired but still prepared, eyes ahead, no turning back I prevail over every wicked bitter thing you've said We, we prevail, mere champions among men
