Rise - Thea Gilmore

Are you lost?

Are you tired?

Is the road ahead unmade?

Are you worn?

Did the storm tear up every stone you laid?

Are you alone?

Is your home past the point of no return?

Did those days just erase

Everything you thought you’d learned?

Come on reach, you’ll see

For the river’s not that wide

Now reach for me

And bridge that dark divide

Come on and rise

Come on and rise

Is there a voice in the air

Just screaming that you’re wrong?

Is that noise too much to bear

Drowning out your cradle song?

And are you scared you’ll be

Just one drop in the wave?

Has your heart twisted apart

From too long being brave?

Come on reach, you’ll see

For the river’s not that wide

Now reach for me

And bridge that dark divide

Come on and rise

Come on and rise

Come on and rise

Come on and rise

And I know you’re lonely

I know you’re aching

But that next step’s the one worth taking

There’s a hand, darling

There’s a shoulder

And there are arms

That just want to hold you

Come on reach, you’ll see

We can sail out come high tide

Now reach for me

Don’t let them say you never tried

Now reach, you’ll see

For the river’s not that wide

Now reach for me

And bridge that dark divide

Come on and rise

Come on and rise

Come on and rise

Come on and rise

(Rise) And I know you’re lonel, I know you’re aching

(Come on and rise) But that next step’s the one worth taking
