I will not run from my pain.
I will stare at you straight in the face.
I will embrace you both, I am not afraid.
I no longer fear you.
I will not break at your presence.
Because what I now know about you
is that you can't, you won't stay
you are just passing through.
I don't, I won't despise my tears,
They are my reminder, I am being healed.
I believe, I believe with all my heart
that my sun will shine again, she will shine all the brighter!
I believe, I believe with all my heart
that I will have a better tomorrow.
I believe, I believe with all my heart
that I have been made stronger, and my beauty is revived.
And I believe, I believe with all my heart
that My God, My closest friend has never left my side.
So do your worst!
I have swam through violent waves.
I have walked through ferocious fires.
I have made it through the burning desert,
I have climbed the steepest mountains.
I have lost those that I loved.
I have experienced a bleeding heart.
But, I am on my way to a better place
I am on my way to new pastures.
A life unheard of,
a joy unspeakable
So here I stand.
With sweat on my face,
blood on my brow.
Here I stand...
A bruised head
with cuts on my legs, scars on my arms.
Here I stand...
I sword in my hand
and Roar in my Voice.
I will not bend, I will not break!
The Greater One inside of me knows no other way!
Victory is His!
Therefore Victory is mine!
This Warrior is living again!
Further Up and Further In.
I am moving in one direction.
I Am Moving Forward!
