So many people tried to stop me   Doing what I wanna do   'Cause I put my faith in everyone   And now I can see right through      'Cause each one of you took a part of me   And tried to put me down   But I'm gonna rise above the skies   'Cause now I wear the crown      I know and I can see   What everybody has done to me   I know and I will be   I've got my mother and she's with me      You tried to be a friend of mine   But I can see right in your eyes   You lie, you're sly, you try to deny   And you ain't no friend of mine      So don't try and build a fire   In that cave you call your soul   The knight pulls down, the shadow of swords   And you know, you'll never win this war      I know and I can see   What everybody has done to me   I know and I will be   I've got my mother and she's with me      I know and I can see   What everybody has done to me
