Rise Again

Woke up this morning, heart heavy like stone

The light creeps through the window, but I feel so alone

Eyes open to the world, but I don't wanna see

Another day in this curse, another life set free

Why did you let me breathe? Why did you let me stand?

I begged for silence, but you gave me your hand

I never asked for this, don't need your cruel design

Why, oh God, why did you let me rise?

I didn't ask for this battle inside my soul

I never wanted to carry this weight, this role

You made me rise, but I wish I'd stayed down

In the darkness, where no one can hear my sound

I didn't want to rise again, God, why?

You let me wake, and now I have to fight

The sun's too bright, it hurts my mind

I'd rather be sleeping, leave it all behind

You gave me breath, but you took my peace

Now I'm walking through this war, but there's no release

You watched me suffer, you saw me fall

Now I'm left here broken, trying to stand tall

You pulled me from the grave, but I never asked why

God, you let me rise, now hear my cry

I didn't ask for this battle inside my soul

I never wanted to carry this weight, this role

You made me rise, but I wish I'd stayed down

In the darkness, where no one can hear my sound

I didn't want to rise again, God, why?

You let me wake, and now I have to fight

Can you hear me scream, or have you turned away?

You gave me life, but you left me in dismay

I never wanted this, never asked for your grace

Just let me fall, let me vanish without a trace

I didn't ask for this battle inside my soul

I never wanted to carry this weight, this role

You made me rise, but I wish I'd stayed down

In the darkness, where no one can hear my sound

I didn't want to rise again, God, why?

You let me wake, and now I have to fight

So I rise, but I'll never understand

Why you chose me to stand

I didn't want to rise, but you made me fight

God, why'd you let me wake up in the light?
