Victorious & Proud

By daylight on to which this earth we were born
                   A birth right given, we have never known 
                         stomping  &  shuffling at our feet,
                     Born in silence, we scream out loud….

                          Victory is ours, see us Proud.

                         A fear of dying comes not more
                        Tears we cry flood these  floors
               There’s no mystery to what We do or how…
 
                           Victory is our, see us Proud

                              Anger which fuels rage
                         Not I an animal, nor I afraid
                              When the battle is over
                             So is the stage, for now

                            Victory is ours, see us Proud.

                         Together we stand, side by side
                       Hand in hand we fight to stay Alive
                       by dawns calling If were not dead,
           We’ll walk away fromThis hell, smiling at Satan
                               And Laughing out loud…

                          Victory is ours, see us Proud
