Keeper
Rising Above Adversity: Keeper of Strength
Lyrics
'Nother day half awake keep my guard up
Starting another day feeling partially awake, maintaining caution
its the price that i pay gotta stand tough
It's the cost I bear, needing to remain resilient
but i know what you don't should i let you in or get you out but you only try to bring me
Considering whether to reveal undisclosed information to you or remove you from my life, as your intent seems to bring negativity
down
Your actions or behavior tend to bring me down emotionally
and you want what you want but you only try to bring me down
Despite your desires, your actions consistently have a negative impact on me
Refrain/chorus section
fire in the sky, keeper of the night
Reference to an intense situation or struggle, symbolized by fire in the sky, being the guardian or protector of the night
and you're not gonna break me into submission, i will rise up everytime, i will rise up
Determined not to be defeated, vowing to stand tall every time
everytime
Reaffirming the commitment to rise despite challenges
used to be afraid woulda walked away i was too tame didn't know better
Previously afraid, would have left the situation; however, now realizing the need to be bolder, lacking prior knowledge
used to take the blame didnt know my name and i won't hide got myself together
In the past, used to take blame without understanding oneself, now refusing to hide and gaining self-awareness
i am stronger than i was before, divide and conquer gonna win this war...
Feeling stronger than before, adopting a strategy to overcome challenges and succeed
fire in the sky....keeper of the night
Recapitulation of intense struggle and determination
and you're not gonna break me into submission i will rise up everytime, i will rise up
Restating the commitment to not be subdued despite adversities
everytime
Reiterating the determination to rise above difficulties every time
i will rise up everytime
Reaffirmation of the commitment to rise despite challenges
verse 2:
Beginning of the second verse
in a place where i'm free from my past life
Expressing a desire for freedom from past experiences
you can't take all my dreams its my birth right
Asserting the right to hold onto personal dreams and aspirations
but i know what you don't should i let you in or get you out but you only try to bring me
Similar to the earlier consideration, whether to allow you into my life or remove you, due to your tendency to bring negativity
down
Your actions or behavior tend to bring me down emotionally
and you want what you want but you only try to bring me down
Despite your desires, your actions consistently have a negative impact on me
