the year of change is here
it is now
and it is for us;
may this be the year
our beauty rises
from the ashes,
unfolds us
one petal at a time,
so the roots defining us
can help us write out
upon our lives
who we are meant to be;
we are more than our past
cause we’re not weak
as those who say we are,
we’re not trapped in pain
as our minds try to convince
us that we are,
we’re not backing down…
no, we are rising
and in doing so,
we’re cutting off anything
that’s hindering us
from our freedom
to be at peace
and we’ll uproot
anything toxic from our lives
cause nothing will stand
in our way…
we’re unstoppable
and we will crush darkness
without a thought of it
devouring our light
in our soul;
to wounds engraved
upon our hearts
causing us to bleed internally,
you will not last forever
as we will soon be healed
from the pain that puts you there;
we are ready for the battles
it’ll take us to fight and
win our war against our past
cause we won’t be taken down,
we will take it down and
bleed our wounds
healed forever,
so watch us do that very thing;
we won’t stay in the darkness,
we will rise to tune
to His freedom.

We Will Rise
