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
