Rise

(album: On The Other Side Of Here - 2021)

I almost lost it all
Felt the world slip away
I'd withdrawn from all my friends
Those were my darkest days
You could say I lost my will
You could say I lost my way
I reached out with trembling hands
Heard a voice inside me say

Rise up, there's a light in the sky
Hold on, you're stronger than you realize
Rise
Rise

I had demons chasing me
I was angry all the time
My darkest side had been set free
Felt the child inside me die
Don't know how I made it through
Found a way to the other side
I fell down to my knees
Felt the power deep inside

Rise up, there's a light in the sky, you can rise
Hold on, you're stronger than you realize, rise up
Rise up, you are beautiful and proud, oh so proud
Hold on, take a breath and say out loud

It can be so overwhelming
The hurt can cut so deep
I wish that someone would've told me
That this loneliness will pass
Have faith and you will still

Rise up, there's a light in the sky
Hold on, you're stronger than you realize, you can rise
Rise up, you are beautiful and proud, be so proud
Hold on, take a breath and say out loud
Rise
Rise
