In the blink of an eye
My whole life passed me by
In another
Felt encouragement
To understanding
Why
.
In the blink of an eye
My whole life passed me by
In another
Felt encouragement to understanding why
With the courage I had summoned
I recovered that which governed the discovery and custody of unencumbered sight
.
In a moment
Made atonement for a lifelong lack of focus
And no longer felt encroachment
As I stonewalled my postponement
Placing onus on the bonus of outgrowing my components
With the boldness then to set all self condolences aside
.
In the beat of a heart
I became a piece of art
While every vein I entertained was bravely teased apart
Such wilderness campaign
Felt more humane as I reclaimed the reddest berries from my very deepest part
.
In a second
I was beckoned to the lessen of my plight
Ever destined to be weaponed
Yet no reckoning to fight
The embellishment of armour
Through replenishment of ardour
To the heavens of nirvana
In the deadened tread of night
Nevermore to leaven bread so hesitant to rise
To the heavens of nirvana
In the deadened tread of night
Nevermore to leaven bread so hesitant to rise
(Rise)
Hesitant to rise
(Rise)
Hesitant to rise
.
In caress of deathly blight
I learned the lesson of reprise
Through the never
I endeavoured then to tether weathered ties
My severance was never less than measured in my stride
From the essence I remembered with the tremble of admire
(Rise)
.
In the wake of fall
I graced the call of reawaken
And all about me
Sprawled devoutly
Thus endowed persuasion
To be claimant of prepayment
For a lifetime of estrangement
Had endangered course to fame endorsement stoutly
(Rise)
(Rise)
Roused me from befallen flame
With no remain of undulate to doubt me
(Rise)
(Rise)
(Rise)
(Rise)
Under no great weight of expectation
For awaiting at the veil gate
Were the faces of a nation
(Rise)
Under no great weight of expectation

The faces of a nation
The faces of a nation
Awaiting at the veil gate
Were the faces of a nation
.
In the blink of an eye
My whole life came to light
In another
The encouragement of day became of night
Friends
Family
And Lovers
As below
So glow above us
Whether Sisters
Brothers
Coloured Black or White
.
We are Chosen
And with grace
Again
We Rise
.
We are Chosen
And with grace
Again

In a minute
Broke the limits
Focused in on that complicit
Paid a visit to remorse
Remained with thoughts way more idyllic
Monolithic were the dreams perceived
Specific to the theme agreed
To best convey all yesterdays
Tomorrows dressed exquisitely
Seemed high time to realign a smile unsung and hung lopsided
Praise todays to raise the skies
Run to sun
For fun
Outshine it
.
