When people are up in my face
shaking fists that i´m a disgrace
…I won´t fight back
When arrogance stamps my worth
and pomposity restricts my girth
…I won´t fight back
When words of untruth are spread about me
and my true character is not their reality
…I won´t fight back
When people prod and poke and demand reactions
and block my movement with manipulative actions
…I won´t fight back
When i am accused of things I have not done
and my worth is wrongly judged and undone
…I won´t fight back
I will surrender instead, and let the pain fall through
that powerlessness will turn to power true
…Because I won´t fight back
And when forgiveness takes its place
and all the discomfort has lost its trace
…I will love back
