Rise Lyrics

Really thought you were gone for good

I believe life always turns up the way it should

So many years went by and I turned out alright

Without a father in my life

I'm a grown ass woman now

And you stand before me with your hands out

You tell me you're coming back

To be the father I never had and you said

I will rise from the ashes, I will rise in my truth

I will stand up and beg forgiveness for all that I have done to you

I have made bad choices, but I'm living a different life

There hasn't been a day I didn't miss you, my daughter, my son, my wife

You tell me you hated yourself

Thought we were better off without your help

That shame and fear kept away, but your life isn't over

And this time you want to say, you said

I will rise from the ashes, I will rise in my truth

I will stand up and beg forgiveness for all that I have done to you

I have made bad choices, but I'm living a different life

There hasn't been a day I didn't miss you, my daughter, my son, my wife

You see I thought I was a broken man, and that nothing could save me

I couldn't understand how anyone would love me

Finally realized that I have love to give, and most importantly that I want to live

I will rise from the ashes, I will rise in my truth

I will stand up and beg forgivness for all that I have done to you

I will rise from the ashes, I will rise in my truth

I will grant you forgiveness, because I believe you

You have made different choices and now you come back into our lives

There hasn't been a day I didn't think of you and wonder if you were alright

So Rise
