Tearing at the foundation of who I am
and what I've come to be
It's always been a constant war between the world and me
Putting thought into my every step
Keeping positive thoughts in mind
To no avail, the constant tests of my will are relentless

My life has passed me by. I must re obtain it
It seems so impossible
But I will take the steps to have it again
I am a glimpse of a man
Suffering over and over again
Forced into perdition
I am a man who's life has been destroyed
Forced to rebuild. Over and over again
Forced into perdition

All but pulled under
By the wrenching pull of the world
And its trials that are pressed upon me
With the two legs I have. I will stand
Much taller than your walls of sand
With the two hands I have, I will build
Machines as strong as my will
