Mother

My mother said, don't listen to them child You just raise your head And darling you will be alright Follow your heart to the stars you will find your way Out of the dark I can hear them calling your name Their voices loud They're singing, can you hear them now? I have the love my body's strong enough To build my own kingdom I am the one that you've been dreaming of Now look what I've become I'm rising up To higher ground I'm rising up Can't pull me down I have offered up everything I could So I will raise my cup and I drink it down with you Follow my heart to the stars, I will find my place Out of the dark I can hear them calling my name I am singing out Oh mother they can see me now I have the love my body's strong enough To build my own kingdom I am the one that you've been dreaming of Now look what I've become I'm rising up To higher ground I'm rising up Can't pull me down In the darkest hour (Their voices calling out to you) I can feel the rain (Their voices calling out to you) Then I hear the choir (Their voices calling out to you) And I illuminate (Calling out to you) I have the love my body's strong enough To build my own kingdom I am the one that you've been dreaming of Now look what I've become I'm rising up To higher ground I'm rising up Can't pull me down My mother said, I love you my dear child
