I RISE
I RISE
from a young age ,
filled with rage.
My heart instilled with fear and pain
from all that i had nothing to gain
I bled from pain
longing for love and belong.
wounds and wounds ,
that I couldn't expound
pain as the blade in my heart
cut my faith part
I Rise
from the pain and struggles
from the rivers of tears.
With Christ , I rise
I Rise from a place where my voice was never heard
from a place where darkness was the only definition
I still rise
from where my wings were cagged up
from the captivity of darkness
Breaking every chain
My soul was chained on.
A light from above gave me a ray of hope
A new life
which I couldn't give up
l came through from the struggles and battles I faced
I outlived, pulled through
And kept my body and soul together.
Through the raging storms of life
a ray of light,
brought hope and courage.
My faith was built
I Rise and still I rise.
