Rise

Really thought you were gone for good I believe life always turns up the way it should So many years went by and I turned out alright Without a father in my life I'm a grown ass woman now And you stand before me with your hands out You tell me you're coming back To be the father I never had and you said I will rise from the ashes, I will rise in my truth I will stand up and beg forgiveness for all that I have done to you I have made bad choices, but I'm living a different life There hasn't been a day I didn't miss you, my daughter, my son, my wife You tell me you hated yourself Thought we were better off without your help That shame and fear kept away, but your life isn't over And this time you want to say, you said I will rise from the ashes, I will rise in my truth I will stand up and beg forgiveness for all that I have done to you I have made bad choices, but I'm living a different life There hasn't been a day I didn't miss you, my daughter, my son, my wife You see I thought I was a broken man, and that nothing could save me I couldn't understand how anyone would love me Finally realized that I have love to give, and most importantly that I want to live I will rise from the ashes, I will rise in my truth I will stand up and beg forgivness for all that I have done to you I will rise from the ashes, I will rise in my truth I will grant you forgiveness, because I believe you You have made different choices and now you come back into our lives There hasn't been a day I didn't think of you and wonder if you were alright So Rise
