Rise Up

Rise and let your voice be heard
Show the world you'll no longer live in silence
Fight for your freedom
Release your hungered violence

You were meant to be a King
You were born to be Queen
Your castles await you
Let the truth of your heart be seen

You may fall
you may fail

But if you give up, and stay small

You can never prevail

This life is not a gift
But a chance to be more
Opportunity is knocking
it's right behind that door.
The door labeled fear.
Held by chains,
links of doubt,
of worries, of deceit
lies that you've told yourself

Selfish Whispers
Taunting ever taunting
saying you aren't good enough
saying that you can't possibly climb that mountain
Cross that river, run that mile

extinguishing your light
until there's nothing left but that flickering flame
Fighting for breath,
Hoping beyond hope not to be extinguished
But to have the flames of life burst forth
In a tumultuous fire
That burning desire
silencing the voices, the doubt the fear that holds you
breaking the chains binding you down
Ripping the cold bars from your cell's window

Escape into the unknown
Try what's never been tried
Trip. Fall.
FAIL

But Rise again, and again, and again.
Don't ever give up
Rise up
Stand up
Stand for something worth standing for
Have a passion
Have a Will

And when you have a purpose worth Dying for
Rise
You have something worth living for
