Rising Up

New year, new me
What was, cannot be
What broke me down
And tarnished my crown
Is building me up
I'm rising up, I'm rising up

Sitting at work
Going beserk
Trying my best
To rise to the test
But I couldn't please you
Tried so hard to please you, nothing could please you

It became clear
Friends once held dear
Were not the same
Friends only in name
Pushed to the side
I had to decide to be dignified

You were my dream
Held in high esteem
Thought you were mine
It was so divine
But I was in the dark
Not in your heart, just in the dark

I tried to fight with all my might
But now I know, it's time to let go
In work
In friendship
And in love
I'm living wild, I'm living free
I'm being me, nobody but me

New year, new me
What was, cannot be
I've learned my lesson
My pain was my blessing
It's building me up
I'm rising up, I'm rising up

Never look back
Don't get off track
Keep sight of the lesson
The pain will lessen
Take hold of my dreams
Live like a queen, I am a queen

My hero is me
I'm here, I'm still fighting
I'm rising up, I'm rising up!
