I will rise

I Will Rise

Though the sun does not shine

Though the night seems not to cease

I don’t hear the birds whistling in the trees.

I’m filled with pain and misery

I can’t see where I’m headed

I can’t fee what’s around me,

In this dark and lonely place.

How did I get here?

Please someone…, tell me how…?

How could I allow myself to fall?

How could I be so blind and not see

What I was doing wrong

How could I allow this to happen?

Where were the one’s I called friends?

Where were they when I called for help?

Where, can someone tell me where?

I’m left all alone to defend for myself

All alone in a place of the unknown,

I fell to my knees

In the mist of my distress,

And cried, “Why, why me.”

Then I remember the promise I made

I’ve broken my vow

I made unto you.

I’m ashamed and not worthy to be called your child.

I’m sorry for what I have put you through,

I’m sorry for the shame

But, please dear Lord forgive me

And accept me back as your dear child.
