I Rise

So I get killed for refusing to do what’s not right I die for the truth, and refusing to follow suit I am dying because of my uniqueness I die for having a different opinion, mindset and belief! If I’m dying for being who I am, then I will die with pride Hang me high up in the sky Call my name out loud and drag it through the mud Careful now, make sure I’m truly dead Burn my body and turn it into ashes Do not bury me....oh I beg, do not! The dead can wake! Maybe throw me away and cover your tracks Make sure the wind doesn’t blow your way For not coming back...is as simple as that Do not let my name ring in your ears, It’ll drive you crazy If you kill me, be sure you are a serial killer And that you can cover your tracks very well Make sure you are not scared of going to jail You know, just in case I wake up... When I stand up and stare at you Make sure you won’t be afraid If you kill me, make sure you do it right, And on time Because I rise... No matter how hard you try to convince yourself that I won’t... I rise!
