I stood on the sidelines for too long
Stood watching the pain
I was a target
A helpless pawn
In a game that knows no rules
In a place that knew no light
In darkness, surrounded by night
Tossed aside
In a place that knows no happiness
I was lost
In an abyss of misery
Too gone to know the way
Too scared to walk ahead
In a place that knows no love
But now I rise
I rise a warrior, a fighter
I rise to be a player
In the same ruthless game
I rise to be happy
In a gloomy palace
I rise to be the lantern
In this murky place
I rise to fight
I rise to win
Watch me
As I rise.
