RISE
McClain Sisters Lyrics

I used to be afraid of giving up
I was scared to quit because the journey was too arduous for me.

The road was just too tough
The journey was challenging to an overwhelming degree.

Out here on my own
I was walking the path without any support from anyone.

My path was so alone
I felt isolated when I walked my path.

But now I see clearly
I now understand my path and its purpose.

Everything within me
I am using everything at my disposal.

Is reaching up to the sky
I have lofty aspirations.

I can see the world with open eyes
I am now observant with a new and wider perspective.

You can't let it pass you
Don't let the opportunity slip away.

Just take hold and grasp it
Seize the chance while you still can.

Now's the time to take a chance
The moment to take a risk is now.

With the strength of a thousand men
I am strong-willed and resilient.

Climbing to my feet again
I will pick myself up and stand tall once more.

Dry those tears from your eyes
Do not weep anymore.

And everything will be alright
Things will get better soon.

You know the rainbow's just in sight
You can see a sign of hope soon.

Dust your wings off as you rise
Shake off any insecurities you have as you soar to success.

If your heart feels overwhelmed
If you are feeling emotionally drained,

Just know you're never by yourself
Remember, someone is always there to help you.

Put your hand in mine, hold your head up high
Let me support you and lift your spirits.

And together we'll rise
We will grow and succeed together.

Never lift your head up to the sky
Do not question or challenge the heavens.

And find yourself asking, "Why?"
And wonder why the universe is being unfair.

Never see them eye to eye
Do not be on the same level as your hardships.

With the hardships of life
With the difficulties and struggles in life,

But faith is where my heart is
My source of hope is strong and unwavering.

Let energy replace my doubts
I am replacing my doubts with positive energy.

Won't let my trials get the best of me
I refuse to let my hardships defeat me.

I'm marching forth towards my destiny
I am moving closer to my fate with confidence.

You can try to hurt me
You may attempt to harm me.

Doubt me and desert me
You might doubt me and abandon me.

I'll feel the will of kings
I will be empowered and victorious.

With my mind I'll plant a seed
I will sow the seeds of my ambitions in my mind.

And you know a tree will grow
My dreams will flourish and come to fruition.

And take me in
I will have a safe haven.

To safety's arms
I will be safe and secure.

Together we can do anything
We are capable of accomplishing anything.

We'll rise
We will succeed and overcome.

We can make it through anything
We can overcome any challenges.

We'll rise, we'll rise, we'll rise
We will surely succeed and prosper.
