They Rise

Tired eyes and lots of yawning Before they get upon the day Excited to see their friends Sharing lunches, smiles and laughter Taking nothing further than their next step Living life in the moment As they see it They Rise... Feeling the excitement Of happiness they're about to encounter As they take pride In knowing it'll be a day like no other For all to see And for all to embrace They Rise... Planning their dreams and visions And what they see this world to become A better place for everyone To love, live and conquer While reaching for success In the eyes of our babies Who set no boundaries Only to win They Rise... With their hearts wide open Ready to take on the world Not knowing destruction lies ahead As they continue about their day Trusting the elders to see them through And make it home before the sun settles down Alive They Rise....
