Day 4: “Two Forces”

Two forces fighting for the floor

Two forces fighting for a chance to set the score

It's not a case of do what's right

It's just a question of a chance to cross the line

The first took a beatdown

Hands tied and face on the ground

Cried mercy and gave up

Then in disgrace walked alone

Head hung down

Never could stand up

Never could stand up to you

Ten years spent buried at the shore

Each wave that comes is an inching closer than before

It's not a case of run and hide

It's just a choice of going down against the tide

‘Cause sometimes it's better

Drowning in salty water

Than facing the shame in

Crawling back begging for more

Calling out

Someday I'll stand up

Someday I'll stand up to you

And out on the wave alone

It's always anything but open doors for you

It's always anything to keep you down

They’d tell you anything to take what's yours from you

And keep you struggling for solid ground

Falling into the pull

Of the undercurrent where you still

Take your worst enemy

Telling you

To just give up on trying

For something much better

Than downing salty water

To take back your payback

This time you settle the score

Calling out

This time I'll stand up

This time I'll stand up to you

And then they open doors for you

And then they open doors for you

And then they open doors for you

And then they open doors for you
