Beyond the shadows

Yo, the test of a man, how much can he bear?
Fightin' for a cause, but it feels like a dare.
Standin' in the shadows, feelin' all that despair,
How long can he hold on? How much does he care?

When victory's close, everybody wants in,
But when the road twists, they don’t wanna begin.
Takes a leader with fire to keep ‘em in line,
Holdin' up the banner when the stars don’t align.
Yeah!
It’s the way you hold out when the odds are steep. (Yeah!)
Provin' your metal when the struggle runs deep. (Yeah!)
Standin' tall through the bruises of fate. (Yeah!)
Showin' what you're made of, (Yeah!) don’t ever hesitate.

Victory’s a prize, just showin' your skill,
But it ain’t worth nothin' without the iron will.
Push through the pain, keep climbin' that hill.
Only those who’ve been there know the taste of the thrill.

Glory's just a mask if your heart ain't strong.
But if you’ve burned in the fire, you know you belong.
Sufferin’ ain't wasted when you’re playin’ it long.
Victory's just sweeter when you’ve righted the wrong.
Yeah!

So stand in the light, let your courage shine.
When the world gets rough, let your spirit climb.
Fight for the win, don’t you fall behind.
That’s how you show you’re one of a kind.
