Could it be that they dragged you through the mud
Stole your blood, took your name
Brought you to the brink of shame
But there's a light inside your eyes
The could not recognize it, you disguised it
But how they must despise it
When you feel your heart is broken
You may find you've just awoken
So stand up tall and punch the sky
When you feel you're about to die
Draw a breath and take the kiss of life
From the jaws of death
Punch the sky
When you feel that everything's a lie
Oh, no, you must be dreaming
Cuz you're bound to be receiving
Everything, you're the King
Of your destiny now, and everything is free
For the taking
Don't you be mistaken
No, no
Was it you
That they scarred and blistered through and through
Oh no! You were nowhere to be found
When their nose was to the ground
That light they couldn't claim
Your dignity, your name
And your soul
Are incorruptible
So when you feel your heart is broken in two
You may find you've just awoken too
So stand up tall, man, punch the sky
When you feel you're about to die
Draw a breath and take the kiss of life
From the jaws of death
Punch the sky
When you feel that everything's a lie
Oh, no, you must be dreaming
But you're bound to be receiving
Everything, you're the King
Of all destiny now, and everything is free
For the taking
Don't you be mistaken
No, no
