You are

Do you ever feel
Like the world is falling apart?
The shadows rise and demand your demise
Life's pressures rest on your mind
You look around only to find that you are blind

Walls can tend to fall
But just crawl through the debris
You don't need to see to be free
Held down by your enemies
They may have the upper hand
But only you know this land
Hold on to your hands
Raise them high
True salvation lies inside
Reside inside those damned walls

Seas of water tend to drown
Waves can topple towers
Just try to swim
Don't let the forces win
Hold on to yourself within
Your Skin is sin, let that sink in
But don't be afraid to show your scars
Your face or your mind
Seas can drown but rivers guide
Keep above the water line

Mountains can't move but winds can shape
Power struggles can change the landscape
Don't run, stand against the hate
Face the state, don't you hesitate
Remember deep inside you
Worlds are made a new
You have the power to change mountains
To move whole worlds
Nobody, no society can dictate who you are
After all, you only go as far as you will

You are the river to carve the mountains
You are the winds to shape the land
Raise your hands
You are the outcome
Of all your plans
