They said you were weak
Simple and irrelevant
They threw you aside
Stepped all over you
Words of anger and hatred
Burnt scars in your soul
You crawled in the shadows
But you didn’t die
You were determined
To strife
To rise
Like wind and fire
You didn’t die
You take root
In the heart of death
You are a survivor
A warrior
You build
And plan
And at the exact moment
When they thought you died
Your roots spread wide
And you rise
Like air
Like wind
Like fire
You rise stronger
Out of the barren ground
Up from between the cracks
And hardship
You soar
Filled with a purpose
A hope
A plan
Taking the world by storm
Fulfilling the destiny
Of your ancestors
This is your life
You define your walk
Your strength
Your purpose
Your hope
Your dreams
No one
Can take that from you
Now rise
And let the world
Hear you roar©
