I was inspired by the lyrics, the first time I read them and this song has literally changed my life, I am inspired to be more, to do more, create more and be a better person. I hope this song inspires you as much as it does for me!

RISE
(1ST)
SHE GETS READY FOR SCHOOL IN CLOTHES SOMEBODY GAVE HER.
BUS PULLS UP IN FRONT OF HER RUN DOWN HOUSE TRAILER.
SHE'S GREETED BY LAUGHTER WHEN SHE TAKES HER SEAT,
BUT SHE'S BECOME AN EXPERT AT TURNIN THE OTHER CHEEK.
(chorus)
CAUSE SHE'S GONNA RISE, RISE ABOVE HER SITUATION oh
SHE'S GONNA RISE UP ON SELF-DETERMINATION oh
SHE'S GONNA RISE,RISE THE GIRLS GONNA RISE oh
(2nd verse)
FROM THE FIRST GRADE OF SCHOOL SHE WAS LABLED A FAILURE,
CAUSE HER DADDY'S SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH THE COUNTY JAILER.
AND HER MOTHER WALKS THE STREET FOR, THE DRUG MONEY SHE NEEDS
HER INNOCENCE HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY, BY HER PARENTS GREED
(chorus)
BUT SHE'S GONNA RISE, RISE ABOVE HER SITUATION oh
SHE'S GONNA RISE,UP ON SELF-DETERMINATION oh
SHE'S GONNA RISE,RISE THE GIRLS GONNA RISE oh oh oh
(Bridge)
THE ONLY HOPE SHE'S HAD, CAME FROM A WORN OUT SOCIAL WORKER,
BEEN THERE FROM THE START, MADE SURE NOBODY HURT HER.
GAVE HER FOOD WHEN THE HUNGER TURNED INTO PAIN,
HELPED HER TO REALIZE SHE WAS MORE THAN JUST A NAME.
(solo)
(3rd verse)
NOW TWENTY YEARS LATER OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY COURTROOM,
THE GIRL, NOW A WOMAN, WAITS FOR THE TRIAL TO RESUME.
SHE LOOKS FINE IN HER BLACK ROBE, WITH A GAVEL IN HER HAND,
THIS TIME WHEN THEY CALL HER NAME THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO STAND,
THEY'RE GONNA RISE, CAUSE SHE'S REACHED HER DESTINATION oh
THEY'RE GONNA RISE, CAUSE SHE'S EARNED APRRECIATION, oh
NOW SHE'S GONNA BE ANOTHER GIRLS INSPIRATION......( BREAK)TO RISE, TO RISE..... TO RISE........../
