Drunkard's curses
Bully's shouts

We will not surrender
We will not die
We will not listen to your lies
We will not let you steal our soul
We will not fill your empty bowl

You cannot smother out our joy
You cannot eclipse our own small world

Drunkard's curses fly round the house
Seeking out our hiding places
Bitter words to break us down
Hurled against immobile faces

Sadly you don't understand
you're just a cipher in the sand

Golden dust motes in the sun
We rise
And glow
Another day won
