Rise
Rise
Tremble to the echoes
Of yesterday's song
This voice that knows
The notes were wrong
Shadowed from the brilliance
Of the morning light
To some it would appear
You've lost the fight
Rise from this slumber
Out of the dark
Step outside
And make your mark
Clinging to the memory
That never sits still
Captured by a moment
That never seems real
Hidden by the reasoning
That seems to make sense
Awakened by the truth
That shatters all pretense
Pull from the shadows
Into the sun
Stretch out your hand
Be ready to run
