Lyrics
You Resurrect Yourself
Copyright 1997 Dana Clark
No one seems to see your painYou’re too ashamed to ask for helpSometimes you think you are to blameThere’s no one you can trust to tellYou’re despairing. You’re defeatedA victim with no voiceThen just when you’ve lost your last hopeYou find you have a choice
CHORUS: Then you resurrect yourselfFrom the ashes of your dreamsYou slowly work a miracleThough it’s harder than it seemsPatiently you seek a wayTo restore your battered soulYou claim the fragments of your lifeYou learn to take controlOnce you were brokenNow you’re whole
Your sorrow strips you to the boneAnd leaves your naked heart to mournYou struggle hard to stand aloneYou labor long to be rebornFor each burden that you carryYou must climb ever higherYour spirit stronger since it has been tempered by the fire
CHORUS: As you resurrect yourself…..
Against all odds your scars have healedAnd you’ve remembered how to laughWhat you have won you’ll never yieldA champion in your own behalfYour goals grow ever clearerYour mind seems twice aliveYou’re empowered knowing you can face the worstAnd you’ll survive
CHORUS: For you resurrect yourself….
