Fly Again (Maya's Song)

Well, I'm beaten down and blue When my wings weren't clipped I flew And through all the tears I've cried I will rise And my troubles they won't cease But that promised land I'll reach After fifty thousand tries I'll still rise I'm a bird in a cage But I'm singing all the same For no more sorrow And no more pain Read the words upon this page Let them wash away my shame And by tomorrow I will rise and fly again Oh my Lord, I know I'm weak Let me be the love I seek With your power on my side I will rise As injustice rules this land Give me strength enough to stand And give me truth to fight the lies Let me rise I'm a bird in a cage But I'm singing all the same For no more sorrow And no more pain Let me use this righteous rage As the fire to light my flame And by tomorrow I will rise and fly again You can hear my fearful trill I've been wronged, I'm stronger still And every day until I die I will rise I'm a bird in a cage But I'm singing all the same For no more sorrow And no more pain Let me use this righteous rage As the fire to fan my flames And by tomorrow I will rise and fly again By tomorrow, I will rise and fly again By tomorrow, I will rise and fly again
