[Verse 1]
They watched you from the corner
Kept counting all your flaws
Smiles with hidden daggers
Talking like they run it all
You felt the cold eyes on you
You heard the jealous talk
But the hand that’s on your shoulder
Will not let you fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Every plan they plotted
Breaks before it lands
Every lie they whispered
Fades out of their hands
[Chorus]
They cannot bring you down
God will shame them now
They will watch you rise
They will watch you shine
You will excel
You will excel
They will see it all
They will see it all
[Verse 2]
What they meant for darkness
Turns back on their heads
What they built in secret
Falls apart instead
You keep on moving forward
With mercy in your name
And every door they slammed on you
Will open just the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Every trap they laid down
Turns to empty ground
Every chain they threw out
Loses where it’s found
[Chorus]
They cannot bring you down
God will shame them now
They will watch you rise
They will watch you shine
You will excel
You will excel
They will see it all
They will see it all
[Bridge]
No weapon stays forever
No lie can stay in charge
The table turns by morning
And grace outshines the dark
Let them see your blessing
Let them hear your song
They thought that you would break
But heaven proved them wrong
[Final Chorus]
They cannot bring you down
God will shame them now
They will watch you rise
They will watch you shine
You will excel
You will excel
They will see it all
They will see it all
They will cry in shame
While your joy remains
You will excel
You will excel
