Rise

the string of time unwinding
leads me to another day

the way it was before
was left behind along the way

first i fought with my mind
in the meantime
then i said goodbye
to the down time
some will see me rise
to the sunshine
some will never know me again

i gave up all resistance
to the emptiness i felt

where once was the good was blooming
that good now goes to someone else

first i fought with my mind
in the meantime
then i said goodbye
to the down time
some will see me rise
to the sunshine
some will never know me again

i can say hello to my good friends
i say it here with all my heart

i can say goodbye without trying
to the rest left on the shelf

first i fought with my mind
in the meantime
then i said goodbye
to the down time
some will see me rise
to the sunshine
some will never know me again

Sometimes you have to let things go that bring you down...Sometimes you have to let people go who have moved on without you...Sometimes you can say goodbye without trying...Sometimes you don't have to say a thing at all.
