From the recording Belladonna Smiles

Lyrics

RISING

Still breathing, still moving
I've landed harder than this
I've taken more than I've put out

I'm rising, I'm waking
I'm pushing through an ocean
I've lived an ocean full of doubt

But if you hear this
I hope you know I'll rise for you
And maybe you'lll rise with me too
Oh let me know that I've got through

We're knocked down, we rise up
We finally learn to parry
Sometimes it seems we fight the world

We load in, we load out
The world's a load to carry
We spin so fast we make it twirl

And if you hear this…
I hope you know I'll rise for you
And maybe you'lll rise with me too
Oh let me know that I've got through

Still writhing, still reeling
Say have you seen my boot strap?
I've heard there's never shame in hope

We give some, we take some
We give back more and plenty
Someday I'll learn to let it go…

And if you hear this…
I hope you know I'll rise for you
And maybe you'lll rise with me too
Oh let me know that I've got through

Still breathing, still moving
I've landed hard
Harder than this
