Riser

(album: Wide Open - 2014)

Lay your pretty head down on my shoulder
You don't have to worry anymore
This old world is cold and getting colder
But I know how to lock and bolt the door

I'm strong enough to hold you through the winter
Mean enough to stare your demons down
Hard times put the shine into the diamond
But I won't let that keep us in the ground

'Cause I'm a riser
Imma get up off the ground don't run and hider
When pushing comes to shove, hey, I'm a fighter
When darkness hits the town, I'm a lighter
A get out aliver, through the fire, survivor

If we ain't got the money, I can make it
I ain't afraid of working to the bone
If I don't know what I'm doing, I can fake it
Ill pray till Jesus rolls away the stone

'Cause I'm a riser
Imma get up off the ground don't run and hider
When pushing comes to shove, hey, I'm a fighter
When darkness hits the town, I'm a lighter
A get out aliver, through the fire, survivor

I'm a tryer
I'm a get down low so I can lift you higher
An army couldn't keep down my desire
Yeah, yeah

I'm a riser
Imma get up off the ground don't run and hider
When pushing comes to shove, hey, I'm a fighter
When darkness hits the town, I'm a lighter
A get out aliver, through the fire, survivor
