Rising
Julia Lester
Who am I when who I am is changing
And who am I when I'm not in my head
I'm following the signs, where will they take me
Will my future self and I be friends
I'm searching for stars
The horizon is black
But I know what I know
And there's no going back
And I'll be living on one small piece of sky
Suddenly the whole world is open wide
It's time, I'm rising, rising
There's a part of me reaching for the light
So strong, impossible to hide
This fire, that's rising, rising
What am I when what I am is wild
And louder than I ever dare believe
I'm so done hiding in the shadows
And I'm so over being scared of me
The stars are all new
And I'm charting a path
But I know what I know
And there's no going back
And I'll be living on one small piece of sky
Suddenly the whole world is open wide
It's time, I'm rising, rising
There's a part of me reaching for the light
So strong, impossible to hide
This fire, that's rising, rising
Rising, rising
(Through the challenge, through the surface)
Rising, rising
(To the moment, to the calling)
Rising, rising
(I'm searching, I'm learning)
Rising, rising
I'm finding I can still change with time
And that's all right
I've been living under one small piece of sky
Not scared to leave it all behind
It's time, I'm rising
And I'll be living on one small piece of sky
Suddenly the whole world is open wide
It's time, I'm rising, rising
There's a part of me reaching for the light
So strong, impossible to hide
This fire, that's rising, rising
Ooh, rising, rising
