Watch Me Rise Have Heart

"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
It's 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 it's up to me, I have to see me like a 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 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
I'd rather die on my feet so you can watch me
Watch me rise with the things we carry:

The loss
The scars
The weight of heavy hearts, the things we carry
