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
