Waves Of Oppression

I need a witness, today I become a man

Tonight I will end this

Enduring, inhaling, waiting on this tide to come in

These waves keep tormenting, crashing down on everything I have left

Barely able to withstand the pressure of life’s cascading tests

With passion I pursue

Eager to conquer I still push on

With passion I pursue

Well I’m an open book, still pushing on

I’m just waiting on that splash of fresh air

Something to ease life’s heavy load

That relinquishing last breath

Just to know that I made it past another day

Just to know that I made it there unscathed

An empty barren carcass, armed with a mind

With ambition for victory, I confide

To encourage, invoking all that’s inside

I prevail over every wicked bitter thing you've said

We, we prevail, mere champions among men

Finally I can breathe again

My lungs no longer filled with disbelief

This lighthouse still guiding me home

I can breathe again

WE WITHSTOOD, WE DEFEATED, WE HELD OUR GROUND

No longer choking on failure's thick heavy scent,

WE MOVE ON

Tired but still prepared, eyes ahead, no turning back

I prevail over every wicked bitter thing you've said

We, we prevail, mere champions among men
