Lyrics
My mother said, don't listen to them child
Advice from the speaker's mother to ignore negative influences
You just raise your head
Encouragement to remain confident and resilient
And darling you will be alright
Reassurance that things will be fine
Follow your heart to the stars
Encouragement to follow personal aspirations
You will find your way out of the dark I can
Belief that determination leads out of difficulties
Hear them calling your name
Awareness of others recognizing the individual's potential
Their voices loud
External influences are strong and audible
They're singing, can you hear them now?
Questioning if others can perceive the calling or potential
I have the love my body's strong enough
Confidence in personal strength and capacity for achievement
To build my own kingdom
Asserting the ability to create one's own successful space
I am the one that you've been dreaming of
Belief in being the ideal person for someone's dreams
Now look what I've become i'm rising up
Self-empowerment and resilience against opposition
To higher ground i'm rising up
-Can't pull me down
-I have offered up everything I could
Commitment and sacrifice to achieve goals
So I will raise my cup and
-I drink it down with you
-Follow my heart to the stars
Personal commitment to finding success despite challenges
I will find my place out of the dark I can
-Hear them calling my name i am singing out
-Oh mother they can see me now
Acknowledgment of visibility to those who doubted initially
I have the love my body's strong enough
Reiteration of personal strength and resilience
To build my own kingdom
-I am the one that you've been dreaming of
-Now look what I've become i'm rising up
-To higher ground i'm rising up
-Can't pull me down
-I have the love my body's strong enough
Continued assertion of strength and resistance to negativity
To build my own kingdom
-I am the one that you've been dreaming of
-Now look what I've become i'm rising up
-To higher ground i'm rising up
-Can't pull me down
-In the darkest hour
Recognition of difficult moments and finding resilience through external support
(Their voices calling out to you)
-I can feel the rain
-(Their voices calling out to you)
-Then I hear the choir
-(Their voices calling out to you)
-And I illuminate (Calling out to you)
-I have the love my body's strong enough
Further affirmation of personal strength and achievements
To build my own kingdom
-I am the one that you've been dreaming of
-Now look what I've become i'm rising up
-To higher ground i'm rising up
-Can't pull me down
-I have the love my body's strong enough
Continued emphasis on personal growth and resilience
To build my own kingdom
-I am the one that you've been dreaming of
-Now look what I've become i'm rising up
-To higher ground i'm rising up
-Can't pull me down
-My mother said, I love you my dear child
Expression of maternal love and support
