Lyrics
Rise- Sonya Heller Music ©2016-ASCAP
VERSE I
I stand in the frozen
Here against the Winter sky
Hands in my pocket
Move along the trees
Seeking shelter
From the northern wind
Gonna walk with the right
Gonna walk with the Left
VERSE II
Out of the shadows
gonna take the next step,
the next step
The next right step
Into the trenches I have stumbled
Out of the trenches I have come
A martyr for the fallen Angels
Who dwell beneath the wooded ground
And they fade away and I fade away
CHORUS
Gonna rise inside gonna rise inside
Gonna rise, gonna rise
VERSE III
Gonna put one hand up, gonna put the next hand, one foot
One step one hope one dream one line one little me
One big little me one big little me..oh don't you see it now Oh Don't you see me now
oh don't you see me now Yes I can see me now
I can see me now oh I can see me now you better watch out cuz
I can see me now I can see me now
