I refuse to bow down, I refuse to surrender br No matter how hard you push, br I refuse to stay under. br br I'll bear the pain and heal my bruise br No matter how hard you try, br I'll take no more abuse. br br I won't ever loose, failure I won't face br No matter how hard you play, br I will win with glory and grace. br br You leave me nothing but despair to choose br But I refuse to cry and I refuse to die, br I'll break these shackles of your prison, br And someday, I'll fly.
