I was tired, driving home for hours
must have been 11:30pm to the hour
Had a feeling, wasn't only dreaming
Something bad was gonna come
We had nowhere to turn and run
Blinding lights stopped me
Didn't like my face or the real situation
Where you from, where you goin, I don't care
Pack your bags, say goodbye, 'cause you're going to the jailhouse

Storms will come
They too shall pass
I'll keep my head up
Keep fighting on

If these four walls are here to break me down
There's another four walls I build around my soul
You won't take away my pride
not today not tomorrow or any other time
If you're gonna try to crush me
go ahead and try to bring me down
I can see it clear my destination
Is not here, and I'm leaving it all behind

I was crying
something just ain't right in such a merciless system
Laying down in a room without the windows
I was trapped without the answers to the questions I was seeking
Is this just a dream I'm in, I've never lived my life like this
Will I stay, will I go, I don't know
I am resigned to the god of the truth that I've chosen

Storms will come
They too shall pass
I'll keep my head up
Just keep fighting on
I will rise
up from the flames
Keep my head up
Keep reaching high

If these four walls are here to break me down
There's another four walls I build around my soul
You won't take away my pride
not today not tomorrow or any other time
If you're gonna try to crush me
go ahead and try to bring me down
I can see it clear my destination
Is not here, and I'm leaving it all behind

If these four walls are here to break us down
There's another four walls we build around our soul
You won't take away our pride
not today not tomorrow or any other time
If you're gonna try to crush us
go ahead and try to bring us down
I can see it clear our destination
Is not here

If these four walls are here to break me down
There's another four walls I build around my soul
You won't take away my pride
not today not tomorrow or any other time
If you're gonna try to crush me
go ahead and try to bring me down
I can see it clear my destination
Is not here

If these four walls are here to bring us down down down
I won't, you won't, we won't, we can't
be beaten down down down down down down
We won't be beaten down
