Rise From the Tent

She lived in a tent with her two young kids Called CPS

on herself for the things they needed

But her hope

was crushed in the system's hand

So she checked in a shelter to take a stand

Two thousand six,

BFF makeover day

Showed her the light

and a brand new way

Anything is possible when you try

Put your mind to it,

reach for the sky

(you can make it) Look at Jessica,

look at her run Saved her own life,

now she shines like the sun

She went to medical assistant training,

got a great job Met a good man,

built a home, had a baby boy Now if you're out there

feeling afraid of the dark

In an abusive place,

let this be your spark

Make that first move before the damage is done Protect your sweet

kids,

walk out toward the sun

Anything is possible when you try

Put your mind to it,

reach for the sky

(you can make it) Look at Jessica,

look at her run Saved her own life,

now she shines like the sun

There's help.

Call the hotline.

Save a life.

We will see you

once you get to that safe house.

(leave now...)
