Was it planned
I see a world that I don't understand
Why aren't we all free to be
What we can dream
Is there still a way to someday
When we will realize
That we can choose to
Rise
We can choose to rise
From that empty place
Where we must face
The bitter truth of what we've succumb to
Reflecting time and who we've become
But in the dark we can hold on to love
There's no compromise
Someday we will realize
That we can choose to rise
We can choose to rise
Who am I
To question life when there are reasons why
But I just want to feel
What's real again
Somewhere there is light
It's so bright
Someday we'll realize
That we can choose to
Rise
We can choose to rise
Leaving fear behind
But can we find the other voice
It speaks of hope and always reminds me
I have a choice of what I can be
And in the dark I know that I'll see
Love, it conquers and defies
It's time to realize
That we can choose to rise
We can choose rise
We have choice of who we will be
We can choose to rise
