You Against The World Lyrics

Did you fight your evil demons

 Or did you walk away in tears

 Did you hold your head within your hands

 After all those years?

 

 Did you tell them of your story?

 How you fought till you were done

 At the end of the day when you'd had your say

 Well, the big guns won

 

 When you talked to me of glory

 I know you held your banners high

 But for all the good it did you

 You made a grown man cry

 

 And for those of us who loved you

 And couldn't bear to see the pain

 When the lights went out inside you

 Something died in vain

 

 It was you against the world

 With a wounded heart you'd try to be a woman

 A fragile little bird

 With the wings that wouldn't fly

 You denied yourself the childhood you deserved

 It was you against the world

 And you were just a little girl

 

 Could you think about forgiveness

 Could you find it in your heart

 To release all the anger you feel

 And make a brave new start

 

 To forget about your battles

 There's no shame in your defeat

 Love will only make you stronger

 Make your life complete

 

 And be that little girl

 For soon enough you will become a woman

 High above the world

 So precious and so proud

 Your wings soar through the cloud towards your freedom

 But remember, mighty bird

 When you were just a little girl

 And it was you against the world
