I Must Rise Video (MV)

Defeated
I feel abandoned and all alone
Beaten
I feel ashamed and want no one to know
Retreated
But I'm afraid I have no where to go
Weakened
To the point I feel I'm losing my soul

But still I know that this can't last
Like all things will come to pass

I must rise
It's why I'm alive
I must rise
Must rise to this challenge

I'm telling myself to keep believing
Then yelling at myself when I see no reason
Why cause I'm leaving behind
The only thing I've ever known in life and I'm seeking
Whatever meaning I'm supposed to find
But really I'm needing a reason that I
Should keep my head held high
Cause I'm sinking and it seems like I'm losing my mind
See I feel equal that I'm so weak that I could just cry
Yet at the same time I feel so full of the strength
I could spread my wings and fly
Straight up soar to new heights
But in this fight to reach the light I'm the blind needing sight
So before I say goodnight I pray that I might
Open my eyes and finally awake cause

Cause all I'm holding in my grasp
Seems to slip away too fast

I must rise
It's why I'm alive
I must rise
Must rise to this challenge

I must rise
It's why I'm alive
I must rise
Must rise to this challenge
