I rise before the morning Sun Wipe sleepy eyes, the day's begun No cape, no wings upon my back But I hold the world on this small track They say heroes fly, touch the skies But I've learned to fight with quieter cries I don't need wings to fly I'm lifting hearts every time they cry Holding strong when the storm rolls in I'm the calm, I'm the flame within No spotlight, no grand applause But love is my 'cause And I rise, even when I'm sore No wings, still I soar Lunches packed and bills to pay I dance through the chaos every day Reading stories through the tears Giving hope, easing fears I don't wear armor, I wear grace Love is written on my face I don't need wings to fly I'm lifting hearts every time they cry Holding strong when the storm rolls in I'm the calm, I'm the flame within No spotlight, no grand applause But love is my 'cause And I rise, even when I'm sore No wings, still I soar Every laugh, every sleepless night Every scar holds a secret light You won't see me fall apart This is what it means to have heart No wings, still I soar Every day, I give more I don't need wings to fly I'm lifting hearts every time they cry Holding strong when the storm rolls in I'm the calm, I'm the flame within No spotlight, no grand applause But love is my 'cause And I rise, even when I'm sore No wings, still I soar Still I soar
