Rise Above

I rise from my bed
I look at the sun
And I know in my head
The monsters have won

I know I'll never win
Not a single fight
They tell me I am a sin
But I know it's not right

And they rise above
And they tell me I'll die
But I am a dove
And I'll escape to the sky

No, not a dove
A raven in the light
For I have no love
In this on going fight

But some day it will be me
The one who will rise above
And I will no longer flee
I will fight for love

I will stand for my rights
Even though I know they will win
I will always fight
Even though I'm a "sin"

I won't run from the monsters
Even though I know the hazards
For the war I will conquer
And I won't die for those bastards

We will all be free
And we will rise above
We won't have to flee
And we'll be just like doves
