Venus Rising

Venus rising from the waves Never hides and never changed Centuries of guilt and shame But Venus rises, Venus rises Venus rises Venus rising from the waves Never hides and never changed Centuries of guilt and shame But Venus rises, Venus rises Venus rises Wake me up when it all goes silent We'll forgive, we forget and we move on We let go In the aftermath of violence In this battlefield that we call home Where did we go wrong? I tried to fight it, tried fair and foul To tame the same sea that once tried to drown me One day I know I'll ride the waves Back to golden shore Venus rising from the waves Never hides and never changed Centuries of guilt and shame But Venus rises Sometimes I feel like throwing in the towel But I've come too far to give up now Slow and steady, the world ain't ready I'll ride the wave that once dragged me down Watch me arise and redefine power I'll set the bar, I'll grow by the hour Watch as I rise Watch me Venus rising from the waves Never hides and never changed Centuries of guilt and shame But Venus rises, Venus rises I'll set the bar and come into flower Watch me arise and redefine power I'll set the bar, I'll grow by the hour Watch as I rise Watch me Watch me Watch me Ah, to belong to a world of your own When everything comes crashing down All the angels still carry you home and All of the centuries passing you by And blossoms on the wind they fly An eternity upon a pearly throne I'll set the bar and come into flower Watch me arise and redefine power I'll set the bar, I'll grow by the hour Watch as I rise Watch me Venus rising from the waves Never hides and never changed Centuries of guilt and shame But Venus rises, Venus rises I'll set the bar and come into flower (Venus rises) Watch me arise and redefine power (Venus rises) I'll set the bar, I'll grow by the hour (Venus rises) Watch as I rise (Venus rises) Watch me Watch me
