Risin? Up

Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 2006

I?ve been kicked around,
I?ve been feeling down,
That?s what I?d say.
If anybody asks,
Don?t take a pass,
Just say it straight.
Don?t know if I have what it takes.
I know I?ve made mistakes.
But even losers gets breaks,
Once in awhile.

Chorus:

Risin? Up from the dead.
Pushin? out the nails,
Pokin? out my head.
It?s getting? harder all the time
Movin? back and forth thru time.
Just wish you?d take this dream of mine.

Verse 2:

No, I?m not sad,
Oh yes I am,
Why start lying now.
I?ve thought of every angle,
That I can,
I?ve come up short somehow.
I do believe in a plan,
I?ve tried to make my stand.
Somewhere my destiny?s hand,
Took a wide turn.

Chorus 2:

Risin? Up, from the dead.
Pushin? out the nails,
Pokin? out my head.
It?s getting harder all the time,
Tryin? to cross that finish line.
Just wish you?d take this dream of mine.
