| You’ve been around the block
|
| You’ve been branded in scarlet
|
| Cigarette burns on your arms
|
| Self-infliction, escape the harm
|
| I can see you touch yourself
|
| Dealing with the cards you’re dealt
|
| But you don’t have to run away
|
| You don’t have to be afraid
|
| Show me how to rise
|
| (When life is kicking you, kick back, don’t be a victim of)
|
| Rise above
|
| (The mistakes that were made when you were growing up)
|
| Show me how to rise
|
| (A young child not taught to be an adult)
|
| Remember how to love
|
| (Raise your arms, you’re free, don’t have to give it up)
|
| Show me how to rise

|
| (Raise your arms, you’re free, don’t have to give it up)
|
| Yourself
|
| In the corner, fetal pose
|
| Many friends, but no one knows
|
| Scars imprinted on your life
|
| So your tongue you have to bite
|
| How long will you be this way
|
| With your dual identity
|
| Healing happens with release
|
| Time to stop the wrist that bleeds
|
| Show me how to rise
|
| (When life is kicking you, kick back, don’t be a victim of)
|
| Rise above
