Inspite

I wish i may
I wish i might
I wish i may in spite

In spite of my troubles
In spite of my past
In spite of the addiction
That seems to last

I am on a journey
To climb a mountain
Seeking change and glory
From the knowledge fountain

long nights and tired days
Working hard in many ways

Now my victory is within reach
To countless others i will teach

In spite of the pain and misery

In spite of it all

You can be free

In spite
