Have you ever had times that you Have done all you think you can do? Have you ever had times in life Where everything’s wrong - nothings right? Where the ground falls beneath your feet You want to laugh but have to weep Where it takes all the strength you’ve got To stand up tall and not to flop Those times in life are testing you They teach you what you’ve got to do They prove to you that you’re not weak Infact it’s your strength others seek Lessons that break you are what builds Your character, your sense of will They break you, break you, break you down Until you rise wearing the crown It feels like it’s been made of thorns But no my friend, pure Gold is yours Just hold your head up to the sky From your demise is how you’ll rise

How Youll Rise
Have you ever had times that you Have done all you think you can do? Have you ever had times in life Where everything’s wrong - nothings right? Where the ground falls beneath your feet You want to laugh but have to weep Where it takes all the strength you’ve got To stand up tall and not to flop Those times in life are testing you They teach you what you’ve got to do They prove to you that you’re not weak Infact it’s your strength others seek Lessons that break you are what builds Your character, your sense of will They break you, break you, break you down Until you rise wearing the crown It feels like it’s been made of thorns But no my friend, pure Gold is yours Just hold your head up to the sky From your demise is how you’ll rise
From pain comes strength. That’s the core message here. “If you are going through hell keep going”
