Lyrics:
Oya now, oya. Oya now… It’s Viano!
I’ve been on my back too long
Battered and shattered — I’ve been pushed around
Hunted by small talks, held captive by thoughts
Frustrated by fear and regrets can’t forget
What I’ve been through, how I’ve come through
Like a dream that has just come true
I’m alive still, I’m so grateful
I’ll be living my life like I’m thankful
I’m not concerned about what people are saying
Cause I’m no longer enslaved by their words
I’m learning to fly, saying no to defeat
Restricting my feet from the shoes that can’t fit
Yes I’m able cause I’m stable
Like a mountain — unshakeable
It’s amazing what you can do
When God comes to your rescue
You can’t express it but the joy that you feel
Is nothing compared to the pain you conceal
It’s so amazing just how quickly you heal
You won’t believe it cause it’d feel so surreal
Light lit, brightly shinning
Pain healed, clearly past it
Tears dried, gladly smiling
Test passed, proudly winning
I fall down once — I stand up thrice
They give me hate — but still, I’m nice
Too much debate — I stay precise
They can’t relate —they roll like dice
Writing my destiny like it’s a transcript
It’s so good, they cannot trash it
Frankly, I’ll still be shinning
At the end of the day,
I’ll be doing okay
And now that it’s said and done
I’m breaking the records, I’m breaking the chains
The things that have trapped me are now far away
I’m righting my wrongs and I’m writing new songs
I’m still walking my journey
Day after day
I’m learning to stay focused
As I go on my way
When life stones me with lemons
I will make lemonade
When life shoots me with arrows
I will throw back grenade
When it drowns me in dark doubts
I will swim out in faith
Cause I choose to win…
Choose to win…
Saying no to defeat…
I remember who I was born to be…
I’m a warrior, a conqueror
I will no longer be defeated!

Wow man, I was literally mesmerized by the lyrics. I mean, it felt like real, just like my inner voice knew each and every word. Really soothing.
These are very powerful words and I hope they empowered you as you wrote and performed them.
This is nice, you have really spoken to our hearts. God bless you dear
I simply love the lyrics of the song – so honest, powerful and motivating. Needed a reminder of all the things the song mentions. Thank you for this.
Very powerful lyrics, too inspiring. Enjoyed hearing the audio. Please keep sharing
Super super love the song, amazing!!! And came right when we all need to be more resilient and determined.
It is really important in life to be determined. Without determination it is impossible to succeed and achieve what we have imagined. A man can fulfill all his desires if he works on himself and decides to succeed. Along with determination comes perseverance.
Cultivating gratitude, in spite of all the pain, disappointment, and regret, is great inspiration.
Determination is always needed. great song, your lyrics are always super powerful and inspiring!
You are very talented! Keep writing singing. I may see your name in lights one day!
Viano you have an amazing way with words. Either a songwriter or poet, the words are heartfelt.
This is VERY accurate to how I am feeling right now 🙌 I’ve often felt very pushed down by my own fear of how others how perceived me, but lately I have stopped worrying about that because at the end of the day, people are going to think how they want about you, and you can’t stop them! Once you realise that, it IS a true awakening! And that’s such a freeing feeling, isn’t it? This is such a beautiful messaging; one that I’m so glad you’re helping to spread amongst others. Well done, as usual!
Determination! One of my fave gospel songs is about encouraging yourself…and this is what determination is all about. It’s a cousin to discipline as you’ve gotta rise up from your pity party and try to get yourself out of the doldrums. It’s not easy for anyone and I personally talk to myself and encourage myself.
This is such a great post about determination. It’s all about having the right attitude in the end. 🙂
I love the message of this post! Our struggles are our struggles for a reason. At the end of the day, we have to be strong and believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. all with God’s help
I think what this song is describing is the same thing that we all go through as humans. I know i feel let down and discouraged at times and I have to find my back to knowing and believing in myself.
This is beautiful! You have put down most of our thoughts in a poetic way. We all need to chose to win after we look at defeat in the eye, great motivation
