Rise

Don't let them break down your sense of identity

Don't let your life be controlled by the bullshit they

feed you to make you doubt your ability

like a well trained puppet-let them indoctrinate

this self-censoring fear-into your heart and mind

How much longer can you keep on pretending?

Everything will be fine but life unlike movies don't

always have a happy ending

take your chances-sort of like I do

on those high notes

'cause in the hardest times we find our strength

in our darkest hour-on our bleeding knees

and if we fall we must rise again.

I know sometimes it seems as if we're living in a time of

fading dreams

when all hope is lost in the process of life

in our ever failing search for happiness...

but we know...

if we fall we must rise again
