You tried to hold us down You tried to hold us back You tried to make us wrong You tried to make us crack
You wanted to see us leave You didn't count on the tide You didn't count on the pride
And you will not make me fall And you will not make me crawl Winds of change have blown And walls come tumbling down
And I learned from my mistakes Pick myself up of the floor I have learned just what it takes Now I am stronger than before And we are standing side by side We are determined now to win And we are never going back into the shadows again
And you will not make me fall And you will not make me crawl Winds of change have blown How the walls come tumbling down More from Melissa Etheridge
