Take you back to where it began
Lion on my back, burdens in hand
These people don't understand the man that I am
Threw me in a cell just for being different
Said my farewells and then my whole life shifted
Now that I wanna stay
It seems it's killing me
I spent too long in the sun
Fighting battles I thought I'd won
With the sadness and shame
But I survived for this moment
You won't forget my name
I won't hide or shy away
When the sun is out, my pride is on display
They don't see my background
But they see my arrogance
My heart was broken, there was no repairing it
I took the power of the heat of the sun and I braced up
That sun felt good when it's searing
Sun burning hot up to the top today
Watch the clock, your life will fade away
Sin of Pride and I can never change
Didn't die, but yes, I felt the pain
Yes, I seen the way it made me feel
Superman felt like the man of steel
Gamble with my life, I spin the wheel
But I've won, now I'm the real deal
So no one is above me now
And now I can see it through
I hope that you love me now, because I did it all for you
I won't hide or shy away
When the sun is out
My pride is on display
This lions out of its cage
There's lions proud
You better run from the light of day
I won't hide my pride
