Set To Rise

Take me to the distant places

Take me far beyond the sky

To embrace the broad horizon

Where both my wings can fly

 

Take me to a place of courage

Far beyond a place of fear

To unfold my true formation

Sailing forth to seas sincere

 

Set to rise with true elation

Former thoughts to unlearn

To discover more within me

A desired truth to yearn

 

For the place I hold so dearest

Confirmation of a sign

To live my life on purpose

The opened door is mine

 

A time of bold decision

With discouragement aside

To a land of my victory

With my eyes kept on the prize

 

On the prize………….
