Rise

Was it planned I see a world that I don't understand Why aren't we all free to be What we can dream Is there still a way to someday When we will realize That we can choose to Rise We can choose to rise From that empty place Where we must face The bitter truth of what we've succumb to Reflecting time and who we've become But in the dark we can hold on to love There's no compromise Someday we will realize That we can choose to rise We can choose to rise Who am I To question life when there are reasons why But I just want to feel What's real again Somewhere there is light It's so bright Someday we'll realize That we can choose to Rise We can choose to rise Leaving fear behind But can we find the other voice It speaks of hope and always reminds me I have a choice of what I can be And in the dark I know that I'll see Love, it conquers and defies It's time to realize That we can choose to rise We can choose rise We have choice of who we will be We can choose to rise
