In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
But it's wisdom born of pain
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
But it's wisdom born of pain
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
But it's wisdom born of pain
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can face anything
