I Shall Rise

                                                        

 

From copious ash of grave misfortune 

I shall rise again and again 

Despite the deceitful hearts of men 

my candid nerves shall not be lost 

nor set to waver by their lurid contempt 

When jealousy triumphs 

and her indifference scorns 

I will quiet the clamor of my fitted soul 

There is a noble victory in peace 

It is a radiant covenant that governs all 

As dire arrows fly without regret 

and greed consumes my daily bread in disregard 

this bare resolve shall grow in strength 

I shall be of good courage 

When fear attempts to steal my unmasked thoughts 

bravery will shield them from theft 

The sword of faith shall provide them way 

Despite the deceitful hearts of men 

I shall rise again and again 

from copious ash of grave misfortune 

When jealousy triumphs and her indifference scorns 

my candid nerves shall not be lost 

I will quiet the clamor of my fitted soul 

I shall rise
