Brighter
Rising Above: Patrick Jordan's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
I've been running my mouth
I've been expressing myself verbally
Waiting for the truth to come out
Waiting for the truth to be revealed
Cos I've been holding your crown
I've been supporting you
In the hope of your approval now
Hoping for your approval
I don't need it, no
I don't need your approval anymore
I just needed to let it go
I just needed to release it
So stand up
Encouragement to stand up
Shine out
Shine and be noticeable
Brighter now
Be brighter now
Brighter now
Reinforces the call to be brighter
And I've done everything
Expressing commitment and effort
But give up
Not giving up
On us right now
Despite challenges in the relationship
We're brighter now
Emphasizes the positive change
I've been biting my tongue
Refraining from speaking out
And hoping you would come undone
Hoping for a change in the situation
Were we crazy to break down
Questioning the wisdom of breaking down
Were we mad to stay on the ground
Reflecting on the decision to stay grounded
So stand up
Encouragement to stand up
Stand up
Repeated emphasis on standing up
So get up
Encouragement to get up
Shine out
Shine and be noticeable
We're brighter now
Emphasizes the brightness
Brighter now
Reinforces the idea of being brighter
And I've done everything
Expressing commitment and effort
But give up
Not giving up
On us right now
Despite challenges in the relationship
We're brighter now
Emphasizes the positive change
Don't you know nothing comes easy
Highlighting the difficulty in achieving success
When you're making up the rules as you go
Creating rules on the go
And I love the rock n roll kisses
Expressing appreciation for the exciting moments
The near misses
Noting the almost successful attempts
The cracks, the make ups
Acknowledging flaws, reconciliations, and separations
The breakups ending with you
Desiring a positive conclusion with the partner
So stand up
Encouragement to stand up
Shine out
Shine and be noticeable
We're brighter now
Emphasizes the brightness
We're brighter now
Reinforces the idea of being brighter
And I've done everything
Expressing commitment and effort
But give up
Not giving up
On us right now
Despite challenges in the relationship
We're brighter now
Emphasizes the positive change
So get up
Encouragement to get up
Shine out
Shine and be noticeable
We're brighter now
Emphasizes the brightness
We're brighter now
Reinforces the idea of being brighter
And I've done everything
Expressing commitment and effort
But give up
Not giving up
On us right now
Despite challenges in the relationship
We're brighter now
Emphasizes the positive change
