to rise up again

you may see me as a coward
but i know that youre wrong
ive been around the block
and i know that im strong

to fight can show bravery
but to lose to save feelings
can mean so much more

if you think it was easy
you know that you're wrong
somewhere inside
you know you know that you are wrong

defeat isnt failure
and all can rise again
i dont know how and even when
but i can tell you one day
i will rise up my friend
i took the fall
to help the attacker defend
