I'm At My Best

My back’s against the wall and I’m down to my last dime
I swear I can’t recall when I’ve had a harder climb
But like a rubber ball I’ll bounce back every time…and
I’m At My Best When I’m Down.

I know when I’ve been used like a steppin’ stone
Battered and abused…left out here on my own
But I don’t feel I’m used…I only feel I’ve grown more profound
And I’m At My Best When I’m Down

I’ve had men try and break me…women try and shake me
At times I let ‘em take me for a ride…
But when the fantasy wears thin and reality steps in
You gotta’ go within…’cause there’s nothin’ left outside.

But I’ll rise above the crowds of darkness and despair
And though I see dark clouds I know there’s a sun up there
Drums of courage beating loud and there’s victory in the air
All around…hear the sound…feel the ground…and
I’m At My Best When I’m Down.
