When I open my eyes
And the sun rise
And new life
Speak love to me
I sometimes see
Problems yesterday and
Tomorrow
Might be
But then
The sun
Rise
Makes everything to cease
The rain, the yesterday
The way back whens
The heartache
The ugly side to me
And well,
Without this
Sunrise
I don’t know where
I’d be
Refuse to go it alone
Refuse to think it can’t happen
Refuse to self-sabotage joy
Refuse to say those bitter words
Refuse to believe that lie
Refuse to see yourself unworthy
Refuse to be silent
Refuse to blame the other guy
Refuse to compare yourself
Refuse to live for fake acceptance
Refuse to think you know everything
Refuse to fall and stay down
Refuse to stay out of the arena
Refuse to say no to trying
Refuse to say no to trying again
Refuse to say no to trying again
Refuse to put the paper down
Refuse to throw away the pen
Refuse to run from your messes
Refuse to ignore responsibility
Refuse to live a lie
Refuse to do nothing
It’s backward, it’s forward
It’s never quite still, but yet still
It’s lost, it’s bewildered
And it’s loved beyond bounds
It’s home, it’s searching, it’s remembering
It’s carrying, it’s inspiring, it’s creating
It’s me
It’s you
It’s adored
It’s explored
It’s someone
Not seen but believed
And alive
It’s the life you give
And take to survive
It’s a soul
It’s fate
It’s destiny
Wrapped around the heart
Of mankind
