I'll stand tall

You can’t bring me down,
No matter what you do.
You can shout out loud, 
But nothing can serve you. 
I’ll stand tall

You can yell at the top of your lungs
Or shoot at me with your pistols and guns.
You can say that I’ll lose or fail,
But my success will turn your face pale. 
I’ll stand tall 

You can try to break my heart 
With your words that stab like a knife
Or with your conniving schemes that you plot.
All I know is that you have no place in my life. 
I’ll stand tall 

This isn’t the end, not by a long shot.
Come at me with everything you got,
But one thing’s perfectly clear;
Your actions will never faze me. 
I’ll stand tall
