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
 (repeat)
 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
