To Rise Above Our Age
She awakened to a world she did not know
where fair maidens dress the world does show
their charms in unseemly, wanton pose
cast off their virtue ere their beauty glows

He Will Rise
Just a peek into the future
You'll find your hope a'waiting there
It's not just a secret or a story
Jesus is coming to show He cares
He died from the burden of our sins
He rose in faith hope and love
Of the promise of life yet to come
On that day He will rise, rise above

rise above
I will rise above.
Fly like a dove.
Peaceful and free.
Nesting in a tree.
Or in the breeze.
Ready to seize.
So full of love.
Just like me.
Make the world freeze.
As we rise above.

Rise Above The Clouds
Dark demons tore her from within
Pulling her downward into spiraling depression
Shadows of memories long ago
That crumbled her to cracked pieces
Everyone was talking about her
Or so it seemed
She avoided greetings and conversations
With anyone outside
This deep abyss shoved her further down
With whom could she be 'she'?
Would nobody understand her?
Irritated outside, showing emotional outbursts,
There

Rise Above
LYRIC
Dont let the hate consume your soul
Rise up and testify
Set aside your mind
And let your heart define
A simple love
My Brothers
My Sisters
We shall rise
Rise above
We gather strength
We stand and lead
Through the mirrors of time
We find belief
A simple love
My brother
My sister
We shall rise
Rise above
As we forge the fields
a battle won
As we pick up

Prayers Rise Above
There are people in NC And other states proven to be abandoned from hurricane Helene
Now, Cat 5 Hurricane Milton is on the way to FL
Prayers rise above a threatening storm
where deadly wind spins ominous threats
To people, animals, property and land
It can't be stopped, people can only be saved
A challenging time it is, testing strength
An opportunity

Rise Above
As a kid, I roamed the vast expanse of the internet
Exploring, learning, connecting with others
Not realizing the danger lurking in the shadows
Of being groomed online by predators in disguise
Innocent and naïve, I fell into their trap
Their sweet words and promises of friendship and love
Leading me down a dark and dangerous path
Where trust was shattered and

I Will Rise Above
Strike me again, when I don't fully comply to your messed up wishes
Tell me to shut up, go to the kitchen and clean up your dirty dishes
Overpower my weaker body when I stand up for myself
Force me down on my knees below your wicked self
Trim my nails, cut my claws, and I'll still get up

Rise Above the Struggles
In the depths of darkness, a soul does dwell,
An 18-year-old girl, facing a battle so well,
Battling her demons, depression's cruel embrace,
Seeking peace in this chaotic place…
Study pressure weighs heavy on weary shoulders,
Dreams and ambitions feel like exploders!!
But within this struggle, a fire starts to grow,
Telling her to go with the flow..
Parents'

We Can Rise Above the Strain
Pain is a cruel and vicious thing
That grips us tightly in its sting
It gnaws at us both day and night
And makes us tremble with its might
It starts with a twinge or a throb
And quickly turns into a sob
It grabs hold of our very soul
And never seems to let us go
It comes in waves that crash

Rise Above the Pain By Er Haider Khan
Time ticks away, with each beat of the drum,
While thoughts of revenge, leave you feeling glum.
Hoping for justice, for what they've done wrong,
But all it does is, your heart string prolong.
Let go of the anger, that's holding you back,
Embrace the present, start a new track.
Forgiving is freeing, it opens the

Rise Above
You may have scars that tell a tale
Of trauma faced, of battles won and failed
But it's not the pain that made you strong
It's the fight within that kept you going all along
Don't let the past define who you are
You are more than just a survivor, you're a shining star
Sometimes you don't get what you want
But

Rise Above Your Own Past
RISE ABOVE YOUR OWN PAST
Never believe you're ABOVE
or BENEATH anybody;
Never feel EQUAL to anyone,
not even to yourself
(because equality is a cliché).
But keep a meek spirit.
Never think you're inferior
or superior to anyone.
Only be superior to your past.
Remember, you were down or out,
then you measure up to "yourself",
now you rise above your past.
Vick Manuel

Rise Above
take stock
your talents
your strengths
be true to yourself
stretch your wings
count only on yourself
for approval
dig deep
stand out
shine on
