Rise

 

Here I am back where I started
It seems I’ve fallen once again
I ask myself why I even get up
They keep telling me there’s no way I’ll ever win

Here I am again in shambles
Shattered and broken and torn
Searching for the pieces of my life
Sometimes I feel I can’t do this anymore

I hear the voices taunting
“You’ll never make it, you know”
It’s much easier for me to believe them
But once again I say “no”

Get up, get up my aching bones
We’ve go so much work to do
This fight is far from over
But I know I can push through

On wobbly legs and shaking hands
I’ll learn to stand once more
The hardest part is finding strength
To pick yourself up off the floor

So here I stand, defiant
Proving you wrong like every time before
There’s no way you’ll stop me now
I won’t just shine; I’ll soar

I know there’s a chance I’ll fall again
But it’s a risk I’m willing to take
Success never comes free
It’s something you have to make
