I refuse to drown
To give up
To sink to the bottom
To fall in the abyss
I refuse to go down that dark road
To leave the light
To walk the the wide path
I refuse to not get back up
To crawl
To go backwards

I will get back up
Move forward
Stay on the narrow path
Stay in the light
I will stay above the water
And away from the abyss

This is my moment
I will remain strong
I will push through
I got this
