(mmmmm) Staring at the mountain in the morning haze
Counting all the hours,
lost inside the maze
My hands are cold and heavy,
my spirit running low
I want to find the fire,
but there's nowhere left to go
But a spark doesn't ask for a flood
It just waits in the dark and the blood
I am reaching for the light I cannot see
Begging for the strength to set me free
Even if I fall,
even if I break
I will take the step that I must make (oh,
I will rise)
Every silent promise that I made myself
Gathering the dust upon a lonely shelf
Now I wipe it clean,
looking at the road
Laying down the weight of this heavy load
I am reaching for the light I cannot see
Begging for the strength to set me free
Even if I fall,
even if I break
I will take the step that I must make (I will
stand)
Just one step... (ahhhh) Just one breath...
