Thought you could keep me down,

Dull the shine of my crown,

But I am more than a conqueror.

Thought you'd stand in my way then cheer for me after.

You don't think I saw you celebrate my every disaster?

But I am more than a conqueror.

I stood strong.

Labored hard and long.

I stuck it out and hung on throughout this trial by fire.

Fueled by passion, dreams, and desire.

Though the journey lead to a winding path,

Twists and turns, drowning in your wrath,

I am more than a conqueror.

The light at the end of the tunnel is blinding.

I'm near the end now, and myself I am finding.

Turns out that I am more than a conqueror.
