Mother

My mother said, don't listen to them child
You just raise your head
And darling you will be alright

Follow your heart to the stars you will find your way
Out of the dark I can hear them calling your name
Their voices loud
They're singing, can you hear them now?

I have the love my body's strong enough
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 offered up everything I could
So I will raise my cup and I drink it down with you

Follow my heart to the stars, 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

I have the love my body's strong enough
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
(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
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
