The Fighter

You may cast me in the air like sand But whatever you do, I'll stand You may cause me to stumble, but I'll rise I'll glow like a star before your eyes You may try to lift your chair before my face But I'll ride my horse fast and beat you in a race You may scoff on me and try to bury my name But I'll still beat you even in your own game You may send forth the night to darken my day But fearing your ghost is simply not my way My blood is as brave as a honey badger I'll roar like a lion and grip like a tiger I'll rise from where I fell and you can't prevent me I'll stand taller before your eyes, wait and see Like a true warrior, I'm braver when I bleed Your bolt can't suppress the rising of my seed 2nd place
