Rise

"goddamn", he said, "i promised myself i'd never feel this fucking way
again, this world has got me praying on my knees for one peaceful thought
in my mind, my stride, my life, my time is consumed with a thousand thoughts
flying free like a flock of birds with no direction or intention of finding home
it's so hard to think, its so hard to change
when this world doesn't see you any other way
in this world, they choose to see me, they choose to see me
like a setting sun
so its up to me, i have to see me, i have to see me
like the rising one
in my days somebody told me that the rain would always come,
always come to wash away the pain
but nothing changes and this world still wants me down
wants me down on my knees praying in that rain
born this way, die this way"

i'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees
id rather die on my feet(repeated).....than live on my knees
i'd rather die on my feet...so you can watch me, you can watch me
watch me rise with the things we carry:
the loss, the scars, the weight of heavy hearts
so i say to the slaves of depression : carry on...
and sing the sweet redeeming song....
about living this life free and long
watch me, watch me, watch - me - rise", for miles and miles

Watch Me Rise
The Things We Carry
Have Heart
