I will rise again, to heights never soared.
To places never dared, never shared.
To places no one ever knew, but I knew of.
Fear held a place, stopped up life's even flow.
But it can't stop me anymore, for what it says just isn't so.
I am special, I am me, a dream that never came to be, but can now be free.
I will rise from even ashes, though forever gone, reborn.
One can't stop up light with darkness, for light will find it's way.
It struggles, get's stifled, but will come bursting through.
To those who abused it and tried to stop it, may you know you will not win.
GOD has angels to, they will see us through.
Tears have carried us through rivers to freedom, intertwining to meet our Lord.
His love everlasting, even through we stumble and fall.
Evil won't prevail, He's seen us through, we will rise again, days of past forever gone.
For there's always darkness before there is a dawn.
