Rise Above

They said I was nothing that I"d always fall behind

My dreams were just shadows lost inside my mind

But I found my courage as the darkness fell away

A flame born from ashes bright enough to light the day

Whispers turned to laughter as they tore apart my name

Strangers acting friendly only fueled the burning flame

But with every mocking word I rose a bit more tall

And now I"m standing stronger ready for the call

Rise above the voices rise above the pain

Let them see your spirit let them feel the rain

Betrayal tried to break you but you held your ground

Now you are the thunder let your heart resound

Behind the masks of kindness false friends laid their snares

Betrayal in their glances empty in their stares

But strength comes in the silence when you’re left all alone

You build a fortress higher than anyone"s ever known

Where once we felt so small now we stand so grand

They cannot tear us down we’re a mountain we’re the land

Rise above the voices rise above the pain

Let them see your spirit let them feel the rain

Betrayal tried to break you but you held your ground

Now you are the thunder let your heart resound
