The Time To Rise Up
The Time to Rise Up
Swirling like the waves of the ocean
is all around you
moving and shifting
Turmoil bubbles up
taking hold of what ever it can grasp
Swallowing with its intensity
Don’t let it overtake you!
This is not the time to lose control
It’s time to shine
Time to rise up
You’ve waited patiently for this moment
The glory that you were meant to declare
has come to you
For such a time as this
Your radiance for all to see
You have been tested and tried
Found to be pure
Your brilliance overtakes
All those beside
Rise up, my friend
To behold your destiny
Choose to shine your light
Don’t look to the left, nor to the right
but straight ahead.
Rise higher and higher to greater depths
Mountains be removed
Rise up to shine like the glorious morning rays
Peeking through the skyline until the full day
Dispelling the mundane and dreary clouds
With tremendous light
Burst forth and shine bright
Rise up!
