The Truth

No more weakness no more tears I am shedding my disguise A lion prowls beneath my skin With courage in it's eyes My heart and soul I gave away Until naught but dust remains I gave to those who didn't care They paid me back with pain They thought of me as weak They couldn't be more wrong Hear my roar see my claws And know that I am strong Strong enough to face you Though you cower like a dog Strong enough to lose you While you hide amongst the fog You have torn my life apart Destroyed all my hope While you keep getting bitter I'll keep holding to my rope I'll climb above this waste You'll wallow in your pride In the clouds I'll sing While you bow your head and cry - [ ]
