Fly Again (Maya's Song)
Well, I'm beaten down and blue
When my wings weren't clipped I flew
And through all the tears I've cried
I will rise
And my troubles they won't cease
But that promised land I'll reach
After fifty thousand tries
I'll still rise
I'm a bird in a cage
But I'm singing all the same
For no more sorrow
And no more pain
Read the words upon this page
Let them wash away my shame
And by tomorrow
I will rise and fly again
Oh my Lord, I know I'm weak
Let me be the love I seek
With your power on my side
I will rise
As injustice rules this land
Give me strength enough to stand
And give me truth to fight the lies
Let me rise
I'm a bird in a cage
But I'm singing all the same
For no more sorrow
And no more pain
Let me use this righteous rage
As the fire to light my flame
And by tomorrow
I will rise and fly again
You can hear my fearful trill
I've been wronged, I'm stronger still
And every day until I die
I will rise
I'm a bird in a cage
But I'm singing all the same
For no more sorrow
And no more pain
Let me use this righteous rage
As the fire to fan my flames
And by tomorrow
I will rise and fly again
By tomorrow, I will rise and fly again
By tomorrow, I will rise and fly again
When my wings weren't clipped I flew
And through all the tears I've cried
I will rise
And my troubles they won't cease
But that promised land I'll reach
After fifty thousand tries
I'll still rise
I'm a bird in a cage
But I'm singing all the same
For no more sorrow
And no more pain
Read the words upon this page
Let them wash away my shame
And by tomorrow
I will rise and fly again
Oh my Lord, I know I'm weak
Let me be the love I seek
With your power on my side
I will rise
As injustice rules this land
Give me strength enough to stand
And give me truth to fight the lies
Let me rise
I'm a bird in a cage
But I'm singing all the same
For no more sorrow
And no more pain
Let me use this righteous rage
As the fire to light my flame
And by tomorrow
I will rise and fly again
You can hear my fearful trill
I've been wronged, I'm stronger still
And every day until I die
I will rise
I'm a bird in a cage
But I'm singing all the same
For no more sorrow
And no more pain
Let me use this righteous rage
As the fire to fan my flames
And by tomorrow
I will rise and fly again
By tomorrow, I will rise and fly again
By tomorrow, I will rise and fly again
