I've always known that without food
_____
Nobody can ever be truly well
_____
And I've always suspected that whoever does their own thing
_____
Fights a war, just on a small scale
_____
But when it comes down to it
_____
On the knife's edge
_____
I was down for a long time but without despair
_____
Of waiting through nights that last endlessly
_____
I have faith in my mind and my hands
Soon I'll come out on top
Soon I'll come out on top
_____
I've always thought that the forces
_____
That drive me must be my own
_____
And I've always said that if you fight
_____
You shouldn't be afraid of blood and pain
_____
On the knife's edge
_____
I was down for a long time but without despair
_____
Of waiting through nights that last endlessly
_____
I have faith in my mind and my hands
Soon I'll come out on top
Soon I'll come out on top
_____
Know that every rebel song can become a swan song
_____
When maddened hordes kick you like a dog
_____
But the land never forces the bird
_____
And the sea never forces the lion
_____
And the heart of every Zeelander doesn't beat in a throat
Soon I'll come out on top
Soon I'll come out on top
_____
I have faith in my mind and my hands
Soon I'll come out on top
Soon I'll come out on top
_____
I have faith in my mind and my hands
Soon I'll come out on top
