We Will Rise - Bill Nelson

I don’t know how I can find

The strength for what I’ve been assigned

My confidence has faded away

Like dusk chased by the ending day

I’m caught between the day and the night

Overshadowed by their blinding light

The sun and moon;

a dazzling pair

How could one like me ever hope to compare?

But a voice within me says:

«I will be brave

I will be strong

Despite those around who tell me I’m wrong

I’ll make mistakes

I’ll take them in stride

For I am here and I’ve nothing to hide

The twilight will rise

The Twilight will rise»

I’ve done so much to get this far

Crossed every bridge, chased every star

I’ve brought together dark and light

I’ve witnessed love and all its might

Still some believe I do not have

The strength it takes to rise and stand

Above the rest and take my place

To protect and serve those of my race

But a voice within me says:

«I will be brave

I will be strong

Despite those around who may tell me I’m wrong

I’ll make mistakes

I’ll take them in stride

For I am here and I’ve nothing to hide

The twilight will rise

The Twilight will rise»

I will be brave

I will be strong

And when they detest I will cry out in song

I’ll make mistakes

I’ll take them in stride

All of these doubts, I will cast them aside

I will not bend

I will not break

I must be strong now, for my kingdom’s sake

With help from my friends

Evil will hide

And I will stretch out my wings, touch the sky

The twilight will rise

The Twilight will rise
