I Have Risen Beyond My Fears

I have risen beyond my fears

I burried my worries yesterday
Cos it saves me no good today 

Life is given 
And we are chosen

So I chose to live 
By the person I am 

In the midst of isolation
My spirit never leave my souls 

Cos it not easy to live 
Were death is always knocking
At the next door 

It take a lion heart 
To grow in the jungle 

It takes beyond an eagle eye 
To see our world today 

So I chose to live 
By the person I am 

In the midst of a dying world
I chose spirituality over vanity


And that was the redemption
Of all I have ever feared
