I Never Stopped Believing in Me

They tried to break my spirit

To silence what I am

But I held on to my fire

And rose against the dam

I walked through every whisper

That told me I was wrong

But I found truth in courage

And turned my pain to song

I never stopped believing

Even when the light grew dim

I never stopped becoming

Even when the odds were grim

They couldn't steal my essence

Or rewrite what I see

I never stopped believing

I never stopped in me

They built their walls around me

But I learned how to climb

They tried to steal my rhythm

But I kept my own time

I am the voice they buried

The flame they tried to freeze

But I'm the wind that rises

And I do it with ease

They tried to break my spirit

To silence what I am

But I held on to my fire

And rose against the dam
