rise up.

Several months ago I was on my drive home from an appointment in the Cities and the song "Rise Up" by Andra Day came on. The song had been on my playlist already for quite some time, but I never really absorbed what she was saying until that day. It spoke to me in so many ways. It is me. You're broken down and tired Of living life on a merry-go-round And you can't find the fighter But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out Move mountains We gonna walk it out And move mountains And I'll rise up I'll rise like the day I'll rise up I'll rise unafraid I'll rise up And I'll do it a thousand times again And I'll rise up High like the waves I'll rise up In spite of the ache I'll rise up And I'll do it a thousand times again For you For you For you For you When the silence isn't quiet And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe And I know you feel like dying But I promise we'll take the world to its feet Move mountains...
