Rise up to Glory
Rise to Glory: Embracing Shadows and Conquering Monsters
Lyrics
Though I walk through shadows at night
Reflecting on navigating through challenging or difficult situations during the night.
Hearing night birds sing
Noticing the sounds of night birds while on this journey.
Seldom did I bother to break
Rarely bothered to overcome obstacles represented by branches blocking the way.
The branches that bar
Choosing not to break through barriers that hinder progress.
The path I would take
Overcoming challenges to reach a path leading to glory.
And make my way to glory
Expressing determination to achieve greatness despite obstacles.
From monsters in the quarry
Facing and overcoming challenges represented as monsters in a quarry.
Found my favorite face to betray
Choosing to betray a favored or preferred persona.
Walked a mile inside
Traveling a considerable distance internally.
Moved the mouth to hear what kind of sounds come out
Being attentive to words spoken and their impact.
The stories and mistakes
Exploring life experiences, both stories, and mistakes.
The excuses that we make
Recognizing and acknowledging the excuses made in life.
That keep us from the glory
Understanding that excuses can hinder the attainment of glory.
Hey, OK.
Expression of agreement or affirmation.
When given the choice we may
Considering the options when faced with choices.
Fall down dead
Accepting defeat or choosing to rise to achieve glory.
Or rise up to glory instead
Encouraging the choice to rise above challenges.
I say
Asserting a personal stance on choosing glory over defeat.
I've been to the mountain this time
Claiming to have faced significant challenges akin to a mountain.
I swear
Promising not to give in or surrender to challenges.
I won't come down
Commitment to perseverance and resilience.
I've been taking my time
Taking one's time, being patient in decision-making.
Never shooting my mouth
Avoiding impulsive speech or rash expressions.
Always changing my mind
Consistently changing perspectives without reaching a definitive conclusion.
But never figure it out
Struggling to understand or solve a particular issue.
Thought I was ahead of it all
Believing to be ahead in life's journey.
Handles on my heart
Having control over one's emotions or feelings.
Armed myself to see how it falls
Preparing for challenges to see how they unfold.
The towers we built
Building structures or relationships under the influence of passion or intense experiences.
In the heat of the sun
Symbolizing achievements made in the peak of success.
Monuments to glory
Creating enduring symbols of success and achievement.
