Rise

I woke up heavy With dust on my shoes

My window was gray

And I was gray too

You said, "Keep going"

So I kept my feet

One small step at a time

On the broken street

Now the air is changing

I can feel it now

My name on the wind

Pulling me somehow

Rise above the clouds

Rise above the clouds

Take me higher now

Rise above the clouds

Hands up to the sun

Heart through the crowd

I was lost below

Now I’m rising out

I held that old hurt

Like a stone in my palm

It weighed down my chest

But I stayed on long

Now the morning opens

Like a door unlatched

I’m not where I was

And I won’t go back

Now the air is changing

I can feel it now

My name on the wind

Pulling me somehow

Rise above the clouds

Rise above the clouds

Take me higher now

Rise above the clouds

Hands up to the sun

Heart through the crowd

I was lost below

Now I’m rising out
