Victim

I thought I was a victim
But I came to believe
I knew better

Many years I have stood
Up to you and failed
Retreating

You believed I was stupid
Criticised me time over
I admitted defeat

The tables have turned
I’m standing again
No more defeat

You think you’re a victim
Hidden paralysis
Retreating

We are no victims
We have chosen our path
Standing firm

You still think you’re a victim
Because you haven’t won
Angry you seem

But you chose your path
There are no winners
A shared destiny

Unavoidably joined
Our future paths set
Anger must subside
