You put me down,
Crush me to the ground,
But I’m closing my ears
To your jeers.

I do not fear,
Though you’re near,
Breaking my defense;
Isn’t your first offense.

You’ll not be humiliating
Or demolishing;
Can’t touch my life,
God is keeping me alive.

When evil is overpowered,
I’ll move forward,
Leaving you behind,
Surrounded by your kind.
