You Can't Bend a Broken Man

I took the fall, yeah, I hit the ground
Life had a way of knockin’ me down
Thought I was finished, thought I was through
But I got back up like the strong ones do

You can break my heart, you can steal my pride
But I won’t go down, I still got my fight
Bent me once, but I won't bend again
This ain't the start, and it sure ain't the end

You can't bend a broken man
I've been through the fire, I still stand
Took my licks, yeah, I’ve paid my dues
But I ain't bowin’ down to you
You can't bend a broken man
I won't break, I won't give in
Tough as steel and hard as stone
I stand tall, I stand alone

I've seen the dark, I've walked that road
Carried the weight, felt the heavy load
Thought I'd shatter, thought I'd fade
But a broken man learns how to stay

Lightning strikes but never twice
I've learned my lessons, paid the price
Cut me deep, but I won't bleed out
This kind of soul ain't got no doubt

You can't bend a broken man
I've been through the fire, I still stand
Took my licks, yeah, I’ve paid my dues
But I ain't bowin’ down to you
You can't bend a broken man
I won't break, I won't give in
Tough as steel and hard as stone
I stand tall, I stand alone

So if you try to push me down
I’ll rise again, don’t need no crown
You can try, but you won't win
You can’t bend a broken man
