I rise

From cinder, ash and dust

I rise

With each tear that falls

I am cleansed

Hello there

Who are you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

My heart

My soul

I love you

I know this heart

I know this soul

This face

This hand

Wrinkled

Broken

Worn

And still

I love you

From the ashes 

And the dust

Yet I rise

And with each blow

That felled me

To the ground

Even as you watched

From that crumpled heap

I rose

Yes I rise

Anew

Reborn

Untorn

Ever free

Wild

I rise

I love you

I love you

I love you

I rise
