Have Heart - Watch Me Rise lyrics

"Goddamn" he said
"I promised myself I'd never feel
This fucking way again
This world has got me praying on my knees for
One peaceful thought in my mind, my stride
My life
My time is consumed with a thousand thoughts
I hate me like a flock of birds with no
Direction or intention of finding home

It's so hard to think it's so hard to change
When this world doesn't see you any other way

In this world, they choose to see me
They choose to see me like a setting sun
So, it's up to me
I have to see me like a rising one
In my days somebody told me that
The rain would always come
Always come to wash away the pain
But nothing changes and this world
Still wants me down
Wants me on my knees praying in that rain

"Born this way, die this way"

I'd rather die on my feet
Than live on my knees
I'd rather die on my feet so you can watch me
Watch me rise with the things we carry: the
Loss, the scars, the weight of hevay hearts
The things we carry

So I say to the slaves of
Depression: carry on and sing
The sweet redeeming song about living
This life free and long
Watch me rise for miles and miles
