Ego

I once tore down what I'd built high
Wondered why I let dreams die
I saw their faces, full of blame
Like I'd set fire to my name

They said the past I held was wrong
A liar's voice should lose its. song
But deep inside, a spark remained
A piece of me I can't explain

Now I've let go, the past unbound
Found peace in steps that turn around
Moving forward, weight's released

I won't be defined. Their truth isn't mine
It's tough to face the road behind
The fire burns inside my mind
A force no chains can bind

I'll Rise and I'll fight
The doubts and the lies
I'll stand with my pride
No matter what I will survive
This is my anthem, hear my call

We built this up with sweat and blood
The tears we shed and dreams we lost
And at our height, then came the fall
Laying ruin to it all

We carry on though hearts still ache
They wonder why they call it fake
But your voice remains so near
A shadow strong, forever here

Now I've let go, the past unbound
Found peace in steps that turn around
Moving forward, weight's released

I won't be defined. Their truth isn't mine
It's tough to face the road behind
The fire burns inside my mind
A force no chains can bind

I'll Rise and I'll fight
The doubts and the lies
I'll stand with my pride
No matter what I will survive

This is my anthem, hear my call
This is my anthem, hear my call

Now I've let go, the past unbound
Found peace in steps that turn around
Moving forward, weight's released
Moving forward, weight's released

I won't be defined
Their truth isn't mine
It's tough to face the road behind

I'll Rise and I'll fight
The doubts and the lies
I'll stand with my pride
No matter what I will survive

This is my anthem, hear my call
This is my anthem, hear my call
