Warrior
Rise Beyond Shadows: Embrace the Warrior Within
Lyrics
Stand up, stand tall
Encouragement to stand up and be strong
Even when the tears fall
Persist even in moments of tears and vulnerability
Push on, push through
Keep pushing forward, overcoming challenges
Find a way to break loose
Find a way to break free from limitations
From the darkness from the chains
Escape darkness and break free from metaphorical chains
Meet that devil face to face
Confront challenges and adversities directly
Let the world know your name
Make a mark on the world and be recognized
Warrior
Embrace the identity of a warrior
Well my daddy was the kind of man
Introduction of the speaker's father and his values
Who could leave footprints in the sand
Illustration of the father's impactful and influential nature
He said keep the weakness buried deep within
Advice to hide vulnerability and exhibit toughness
Show them all that tough outer skin
Emphasizing a strong exterior to the world
Cry in the shadows, smile in the sun
Contrast between private and public emotions
Live by your word
Live by one's principles and values
Die by your gun
Embrace a resolute and unyielding approach
If your mind is strong and your heart is right
Having a strong mind and righteous heart leads to success
There's no dream that's out of sight
Belief that all dreams are achievable
Stand up, stand tall
Reiteration of the call to stand up and be strong
Even when the tears fall
Encouragement to persist despite tears and challenges
Push on, push through
Continue pushing forward and breaking through obstacles
Find a way to break loose
Find a way to liberate oneself from darkness and constraints
From the darkness from the chains
Confront challenges directly, face adversity
Meet that devil face to face
Strive to be known and remembered by the world
Let the world know your name
Reiteration of embracing the warrior identity
Warrior
Call to embody the spirit of a warrior
He raised me up and he raised me right
Description of the father's positive influence on the speaker
To work through my pain, be no bark and all bite
Encouragement to confront pain with strength and resilience
He said don't talk, just walk, no wrong, it's all right
Emphasizing action over words, right versus wrong
There's no grey in between, it's all black or all white
Clarity in moral values, avoiding gray areas
With only one arm, he slaved every day
Highlighting the father's resilience and dedication
To give us his all, it was the only way
Sacrifices made by the father for the family
Sometimes I visit my past, to live in those days
Nostalgia and reflection on the past
To find my inner strength, and hear him say
Seeking strength from memories and the father's words
Stand up, stand tall
Reiteration of the call to stand up and be strong
Even when the tears fall
Persist in the face of tears and challenges
Push on, push through
Continue pushing forward and breaking through obstacles
Find a way to break loose
Strive to liberate oneself from darkness and constraints
From the darkness from the chains
Confront challenges directly, face adversity
Meet that devil face to face
Strive to be known and remembered by the world
Let the world know your name
Reiteration of embracing the warrior identity
Warrior
Final call to embody the spirit of a warrior
