Rise Again

When the weight of the world bears down,

And shadows creep across your crown,

When dreams seem lost and hope is thin,

Remember, you’ll rise again.

The road is long, the night is cold,

The heart grows weary, the spirit bold,

But even when the world’s too loud,

Your soul is still, your heart unbowed.

Through storms that rage and winds that roar,

You’ve walked through fire, you’ll walk once more,

And though the night may stretch too far,

You’ll find your way by your own star.

Let the winds blow harsh and wild,

Let them test the will of the child,

For deep within you lies a spark,

A flame that glows against the dark.

You are not broken, though you bend,

You are a force, not at the end,

And in each struggle, you will grow,

And find the strength you didn’t know.

So face the dawn, embrace the day,

And know that you will find your way.

Though life may twist, and paths may wind,

You’ll rise again — a force defined.
