RISE UP

I never thought I'd be someone or anything to anyone. I thought I’d just hide in the shadows but someone turned that spotlight on to me. I'm sweating now. My heart is racing. My mouth is dry. My eyes are dilated but I've never seen the world so clear. Rose to me feet, I start to scream – you’re not taking me! I fought back with all my heart. This world is falling apart. One day you’ll realize they’re not taking you or I. We're all part of the struggle. We've all got to learn this whole big wide world is starting to turn. Rise up! Rise up! Bring us your tired, poor, huddled masses. It's time! It's our time and we're going to be free. Rose to my feet, I start to scream – you’re not taking me! I fought back with all my heart. This world is falling apart. One day you’ll realize they’re not taking you or I.
