My Pride

YOU HAVE TAKEN MY PEOPLE
YOU HAVE TAKEN MY LAND
BUT YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY PRIDE
FOR THAT HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART
YOUR GRIMLY FEET WILL NOT TAKE ONE STEP INTO MY SOUL
YOU WILL NOT GRASP MY PRIDE IN YOUR HANDS
AND RIP IT OUT OF ME AS EASY AS CAN BE
I WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN
AND WHAT I BELIEVE IN IS ME
ME
SOMEONE WHO IS STRONG
BRAVE AND TALL
MY PRIDE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND
TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME
AND I STILL WILL STAND UP TALL
WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH
WHY?
BECAUSE MY PRIDE IS THERE
MY PRIDE HAS NEVER
AND WILL NEVER
BE SEPARATED FROM MY TORSO
YOU HAVE DISMANTLE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
YOU HAVE TAKEN THE YOUNG FROM THEIR MOTHERS
AND RIPPED SONS FROM THEIR FATHERS ARMS
BUT MY PRIDE IS FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING THAT YOU’LL EVER TOUCH
MY PRIDE IN BEING ME
IS SOMETHING THAT WILL STAY WITH ME FOREVER
MY PRIDE
