Rise

Rise Rise! Rising to embrace the stars in far space I rise because I Am A star Sparkling Through All limitations just to keep Rising Even in my darkest hour I rise Go ahead, despise me because of my simplicity But I rise Go ahead, abuse me cos of my burning passion But I’m rising You fake a praise of me in the open but stab me in the back But hey! I still rise! Rising through the mud of busy gossips and backwardness Rising through the stingy and stinky violations of debts I am rising Sure, I am rising because I am a star Not the kinda star that boats in fame, awards, and glamour No! I am a star Not the kind that swims in the pool of foolish pride No, not the kind that exalts itself as better than any No! Not the kind that sees itself lesser than any No no no no no! I am the star A voice that bright to inspire The voice that rebukes and heals without fear or favour Yes, I am that star that thrives to be ME Today, I thirst to rise Tomorrow, I fly to rise My feet are humbled in sandals decorated with potholes But you can mark my today but you have no idea the scope of my tomorrow I rise cos day in and day out I crave for innovation A vision that lightens my tears A mission that fastens my footsteps I keep rising Rise Rise me Rise Rising through the South To The North Through the West To the East I will always become the NEWS that rises A global voice that tours the hearts of millions I Rise So rise!
