Giant

Melissa Etheridge

You tried to hold us down 
You tried to hold us back 
You tried to make us wrong 
You tried to make us crack 

You wanted to see us cry 
You wanted to see us leave 
You didn't count on the tide 
You didn't count on the pride 
You didn't count on me 

I am a giant 
And you will not make me fall 
And you will not make me crawl 
I am a giant 
And I'm not alone 
Winds of change have blown 
And walls come tumbling down 

And I learned from my mistakes 
Pick myself up of the floor 
I have learned just what it takes 
Now I am stronger than before 
And we are standing side by side 
We are determined now to win 
We come too far 
And we've got the scares 
And we are never going back into the shadows again 

I am a giant 
And you will not make me fall 
And you will not make me crawl 
I am a giant 
And I'm not alone 
Winds of change have blown 
How the walls come tumbling down
