Anyone can put me down,
Still, no one will see me frown.
Bitterness will not affect me,
Sweetness will always attract me.
People around me may think that I am wired,
But I have no fear, and I am clear – I will rise.
Imagine rising like the sun and like the moon,
I will rise very soon.
Just as your hopes spring high,
I will also rise very high.
I am like an ocean, wide and deep,
People, please peep.
I have left behind lonely nights and fear.
I have hope that I will rise.
