Who were you to judge me?
Why did you think you were better than me?
And in the event that you actually could be,
Why would I need to think I am unworthy?

I have been in this life for long enough
Had my ups and down like every body
And where were you to be found? Nowhere!
On those lonely nights when I faced the lowest of lows

When the tides turned on me
And life seemed to turn it's back on me
I have fought my fights all alone
So often left for dead in the gutter

When the moon lit a light for you, and I was kept in the dark
The sun would shine for you while my heart was being bitten
By the coldest winds of loneliness, why were you nowhere to be found?
So how can you today be the one to cast judgement?

I fought my battles, against all odds.
And if I was not so many times bent down by adversity,
If so clearly do I remember being on my knees,
I also recall that I was always by myself, keeping my head up.

Therefore do I once again ask thou:
Where were you when I was left broken?
If you could not be a friend when I needed one
You will never be the one sharing the glory

On the day that I'll be standing tall on my feet.

But on this day will I thank you with all my heart
For you forced me to learn never to ever crawl again.
With all the might in my heart, I have reclaimed my life
And here I am, forever steering my spirits through the skies.
