They thought we would just
Up and leave

Just like that

This is our home
After all
We have lived here
For the past 17 years

I don't care what disaster comes
Or where the government tells me
To go

I'll face the end
In my own home

If I have to
I'm not scared

You can't imagine
The awkwardness
The emptiness
The pain
I have felt

I'm not afraid!

Let the terrible times come

They will come
They will come in my life

Persevere
I will persevere

On to glory
