And I Will Stand Tall

And I Will Stand Tall

You try to bring me down
You try to weaken me 
You try to kill my sprite
But yet I am here
And I will stand tall

They tried to hurt me
They tried to belittle me
They tried to take my possessions
They tried to hold me back
But yet I am here
And I will stand tall

I stand tall for what I believe in!
I stand tall for the ones I love!
I stand tall for the weak!
When all hope is lost, look up and you’ll see me there
Standing tall for all to see!
