Arise
I will arise. Rise.
Show me who you really are.
Show me that you're not someone who would cast out their young
And leave them behind and I'll try, I'll try to be reasoning
I'll try to forget you abandoned me on the shallow shores
I'm tied to the ocean floor for the current to take me away
You want to say you're wrong and now it's just too late
You tried to leave me behind, stranded in the tide
You want to say you're wrong and now it's just too late
You can't call me your own. I won't be disowned
I must arise, pulling myself through the tide
I will arise. You thought you left me there to die
But I made it through the tide
I'm not drowning
You're just broken
I can mend you and forgive this moment
You want to say you're wrong and now it's just too late
You tried to leave me behind, stranded in the tide
You want to say you're wrong and now it's just too late
You can't call me your own. You wanted me gone
I will carry myself alone again, from where you left me to sink or swim
There's no making this right
What's done is done
You want to say you're wrong
How could you call me your son?
I saw the waves trying to pull me in
I broke the tide. I will arise
