I Rise

Life was good, filled with joy, I had started my family
 Then one day, my rainbow changed to a dark cloud that poured over me
 Doctors told me I was sick, it all happened so suddenly
 Still so young and full of dreams to be faced with my mortality
 We all have our fears we hide from and this one stared into my eyes
 And I vowed this would make me stronger, not be my demise
 I've got life to live, I've got work to do and it's not my time
 Found my strength deep inside and it kept me alive through the fight
 From this struggle I rise
 Take my wings and I fly
 Through the darkness I shine
 I'm a warrior, this can't take me down
 From this struggle I rise
 Take my wings and I fly
 Through the darkness I shine
 I'm a warrior, this can't take me down
 Through this journey so much was revealed
 Though it still seems a great mystery
 Why this darkness came into my life, I suppose it's a lesson for me
 Our character is defined by the way that we deal with adversity
 So I chose to reflect on the ways I was blessed
 No not dwell on my suffering
 From this struggle I rise
 Take my wings and I fly
 Through the darkness I shine
 I'm a warrior, this can't take me down
 From this struggle I rise
 Take my wings and I fly
 Through the darkness I shine
 I'm a warrior, this can't take me down
 And I just prayed for the grace to
 Rise up in the face of this difficulty
 And I never once doubted that I had the power to rule my destiny
 Life is full of so many surprises aint nothing predictable
 But one thing I know is we all have the courage
 To fight for our survival
 From this struggle I rise
 Take my wings and I fly
 Through the darkness I shine
 I'm a warrior, this can't take me down
 From this struggle I rise
 Take my wings and I fly
 Through the darkness I shine
 I'm a warrior, this can't take me down
