(Chale, listen to the story)
(They tried to break the soldier, but the light still shine)
(2012, the year of the storm)
(Look at me now)
Young officer in the streets of Accra town
I wore the uniform with pride, never looking down
Walking the beat, protecting every soul I see
But the system had a shadow, coming straight for me
They pointed fingers, said I took what wasn't mine
Framed for the robbery, a wicked, cold design
Ten months in remand, the walls of Railways station grey
Watching the sun rise and set, feeling my life fade away
Oh, they locked the door but they couldn't cage the soul
Down in the basement, losing all control
I fell in the dirt, but I learned how to rise
Truth is the fire that burns through the lies
I’m the survivor, standing tall in the light
From the Railways station to the end of the night
Inside that cell, the silence was a heavy sound
Praying for the day that the missing truth be found
They called me extortionist, the badge was stripped away
Ten months of waiting, wondering if I’d see the day
But God is a witness, the evidence didn't fit
Every lie they told, I stood and witnessed it
Discharged at last, with my head held high
Look at the champion under the Accra sky
Oh, they locked the door but they couldn't cage the soul
Down in the basement, losing all control
I fell in the dirt, but I learned how to rise
Truth is the fire that burns through the lies
I’m the survivor, standing tall in the light
From the Railways station to the end of the night
Herh! You think the uniform defines the man?
It’s the spirit inside, part of the master plan
They wanted me broken, they wanted me done
But look at the rising, look at the sun
(Chale, no condition is permanent!)
Now I’m walking free, living my best life
Stronger than the rumors, stronger than the strife
It’s a new chapter, I’m chasing down the dream
Stronger than the scandal, flowing like a stream
They thought it was the end, but it’s just the start
I keep the lessons written in my heart
Oh, they locked the door but they couldn't cage the soul
Down in the basement, losing all control
I fell in the dirt, but I learned how to rise
Truth is the fire that burns through the lies
I’m the survivor, standing tall in the light
From the Railways station to the end of the night
Yeah, 2012 to the present day
We rise, we thrive, we never look away
Eiii! The truth always wins
Railways to redemption, yeah
(We move!)
