Does rising mean
that I won't ever fail
that I'll always win
and everyone else will follow my trail?
No, my love
it means you will fall
but even through your plunge
you'll learn to stand tall.
It means you'll smile
after every loss
because you are courageous
and you have mountains to cross.
It means you'll swim
through the deepest waves
you'll fly through those winds
and you'll knock down those caves.
It means you will break
and you'll shatter apart
but you won't give up
because of who you are.
It means you will cry
and bend to your knees
and you will trip
as soon as you reach the highest peaks.
It means you'll be hurt
and no one will help you rise
you'll watch your dreams
crumble in front of your eyes.
It means that you are human
and you aren't made of steel
it means you'll be wounded
and no one will help you heal.
It means that you'll be all alone
and the world won't come for help
it means that you'll have to rise
all by yourself.
It means you'll have mud
and dirt all over your skin
it means lowering your head
and watching someone else win.
It means
my love
you will try
again, and again
and you will fail
but you won't ever stop
you've already won
because you've refused to give up.
