For I, I Was Born To Rise. . .

did you think you could pull me down? was your intention to break my wings? i cannot stay down in the dust, for i, i was born to rise. . . i am a precious, beautiful and black diamond, all the scrubbing and processing did not phase me, the acid you are pouring on me cannot kill me, for i, i was born to rise. . . does the confidence i have threaten your existance? the curve balls you keep throwing at me won't hinder me, as for the bullets in your eyes, i'm not afraid, for i, i was born to rise. . . like the sun rising after each night of darkness, like the stars come out after the sun has gone, my spirit will keep springing in high hopes, for i, i was born to rise. . . i am going to soar on the waves of the wind, i am going to rise and not sink anymore, i am going to walk tall even though i am short, for i, i was born to rise. . .
