I Rise Again

Left here for dead I rise again From scorn and degradation I lift my head And see tomorrow through the rainbow Of my tears. You took your worth For all you own you are, all you are Is the inherited legacy of your possession Stolen, defiled by robbery and wounded me. You were such a phony drinker from the flower An imposter masquerading as like a bee, You infected the pollens golden innocense Arouse the stigma For nothing, Except as a receptacle of your violence Made the honey bitter as your desire From which I rise again. Chains are lies upon the flesh What binds the man Must also bind the mind Nothing touches the man Who is not imprisoned in the mind. I rise again from prison bars of doubt To dance with stars dancing too One by one as they are coming out My feet are rooted in solid ground But my heart is a phoenix Of a greater love, a higher power And I from the foundation of all things Was called To carry my luggage of eternity Higher and higher on bright wings of faith That say I believe I believe the winds will blow according To the purpose of his wisdom I believe the rivers will flow according To the purpose of his precision I believe the sun will shine according To the brightness of his love I believe is my only peace of mind, holding The ashes of yesterday As seed and proof of the eternal stars As memories and more of healing scars. The sum of all we are is what we crave Left here for dead I rise again Clean as a morning, empty of pain.
