Baksiux - Rising Up Lyrics

Growing up was hard, I had to face the pain,
Trying to find the light, walking through the rain.
Mama working late, I was all alone,
Learned to hold my own, heart turned to stone.

Late nights in the city, dreams of getting out,
Chasing after hope, filled with fear and doubt.
Friends I thought were real, turned their backs on me,
Now I'm rising up, just wait and see.

I'm just trying to make it, find a better way,
Living for tomorrow, fighting through today.
All these scars I carry, stories in my soul,
Gonna keep on moving till I reach my goal.

Looking at the stars, wishing on a dream,
Trying to escape this life, or so it seems.
People come and go, but I stay the same,
Learned to play my cards, this ain't no game.

Every step I take, lessons that I learn,
Heart full of fire, watch the passion burn.
Struggle made me strong, never gonna quit,
Living for the moments, this is it.

I'm just trying to make it, find a better way,
Living for tomorrow, fighting through today.
All these scars I carry, stories in my soul,
Gonna keep on moving till I reach my goal.

They don't know my story, they don't feel my pain,
But I keep on pushing, dancing in the rain.
Life can knock me down, but I'll rise again,
With every battle fought, I know I'll win.

So here I am, standing on my own,
Grateful for the struggle, look how I've grown.
This is my journey, every step I take,
Living with purpose, for my own sake.
