 </div><p></p>Wasted like an old foot mat<br>
In the middle of a fiery storm<br>
Along the bank of life’s troubles<br>
Failed by wobbling legs,<br>
Still, I rise!
<p>Battered like the village stream’s path,<br>
Trampled, with face in the dirt,<br>
Convulsing in waves of pain<br>
Amidst my failing dreams,<br>
Still, I rise!</p>
<p>I rise<br>
Like an agile eagle<br>
Soaring in the morning<br>
In the glory of his hunt!</p>
<p>I rise<br>
Like blossoming flowers<br>
Kissed by the morning dews<br>
In the glory of her beauty!</p>
<p>I rise<br>
Like a lost lion king<br>
Awakened to his identity<br>
In the glory of his dominion!</p>
<p>I rise<br>
Like the sun shining in the morning<br>
Handsome, majestic, unmatched, domineering<br>
In the wake of his blinding thrust!</p>
