Watch her stand alone
As they beat her to the ground
As they force her head under
As they force her to drown
Watch her stand alone
Watch her crumble, fall apart
Watch her climb her way back up
Fingers bleeding and covered in scars
Watch her stand alone
Watch her struggle to breathe as broken bones force their way into her lungs and the blood in her eyes makes it harder to see
Watch her stand alone as on lookers point and stare at her disfigured face and her shattered soul-like-grace that's changed her into someone she's never wanted to be
Watch her stand alone
As years of torture claim their place upon the only heart she's ever known sitting slightly to the right of where its home should be
Watch her stand alone
Then watch her rebuild and grow
Watch her turn into a beautiful fighter who's smile burns brighter than any you have ever known
Watch her stand alone

Watch her stand alone
As they beat her to the ground
As they force her head under
As they force her to drown
Watch her stand alone
Watch her crumble, fall apart
Watch her climb her way back up
Fingers bleeding and covered in scars
Watch her stand alone
Watch her struggle to breathe as broken bones force their way into her lungs and the blood in her eyes makes it harder to see
Watch her stand alone as on lookers point and stare at her disfigured face and her shattered soul-like-grace that's changed her into someone she's never wanted to be
Watch her stand alone
As years of torture claim their place upon the only heart she's ever known sitting slightly to the right of where its home should be
Watch her stand alone
Then watch her rebuild and grow
Watch her turn into a beautiful fighter who's smile burns brighter than any you have ever known
Watch her stand alone
