I know how it feels

To be broke and sad

To have nothing at all

Nothing to be had

I know how it feels

To have to fight

For all I need

With all my might

I know how it feels

To lose the war

To lose someone close

And want no one more

I know how it feels

To get back up

With nothing more

Than an half-empty cup

I know how it feels

To stand so strong

To walk so tall

And endure so long

I know how it feels 

To climb out the hole

To recover the light

And reclaim what they stole

I know how it feels

To be called strong

This, I must be

For lasting this long

I know how it feels 

To become new

Not everyone can

Yes, only a few
