Story Behind The Song

I started writing this about 3 years ago while visiting my family in Oklahoma. I woke up around 5 am & sang this into my phone (a basic version). Originally I tried to fit this into another genre, but it seemed awkward to me. Here's the latest, updated, remixed version.

Song Description

This song was originally written for the graduation of a friend's daughter.

Lyrics

At the closing of a chapter that you thought would never end
There's a page where nothing's written and your new life now begins
Never knowing what's before you

Now you're facing tons of pressure and you don't know where to turn
As you look at the horizon, and you've got so much to learn
Take a look at what surrounds you
arise

Arise
Take your new-found wings and touch the sky
I pray you have the strength you need to fly so high
Arise

When you're feelin' lost and lonely and it seems that no one cares
Remember those behind you always cover you with prayers
When you're facing down those giants
Arise

Arise
Take your new-found wings and touch the sky
I pray you have the strength you need to fly so high
Arise
Dance while you are standing in the light
And may you have the courrage to take a stand for what's right
Arise

Arise
Take your new-found wings and touch the sky
I pray you have the strength you need to fly so high
Arise
Dance while you are standing in the light
And may you have the courage to take a stand for what's right
Arise
