Standing on top of the world
Looking below at all who have tried
Who have failed to take me down
Look at me now
Look at me now

I've been beaten with their whips and their chains
Bruises enwrap my body
Under my coat of armor
But still I stand proud
Look at me now
Look at me now

Gaze upon their faces
Shame, Humilation
You can read it all from their eyes
Making me their scapegoat
Never regarding my feelings
Never glancing at what I can offer
I'll show them now
I'll show them how

Brushing me off like I'm nothing
Viewing me insignificant to yourself
How the tables have turned
Look at me now
Look at me now

You made me stumble
But I did not fall
You pushed me
But I never lost my balance
You shot me glares of ice
But I did not shiver
You lit your words with fire
But still I did not burn
The flame does not burn

I'll show them now
I'll show them how
Look at me now
I will never bow
