Rise up

When The weight of the world is dragging you down,
After trying so hard to get up off the ground,
And not a friend to be seen from miles around,
All to be seen is the hate and the greed,
People who are blind to those in need,
You feel like a sheep when the wolves come to feed,
And they only bite harder when they see you bleed,
When the world comes at you with it's teeth gnashing,
And you feel weaker and weaker with each second passing,
You look up from the valley of the shadow of doubt,
You can't win the battle if you stay there and pout,
You'll be there forever if you don't climb your way out,
Rise up like the pheonix on it's dying day,
Summon all the courage you have to display,
Like life is a game and you're ready to play,
Rise up like a flare burning through the night sky,
You can't climb the mountain if you never try,
If they say that's impossible then show them all that's a lie,
Rise above the bar they set so high,
Even as they tell you you'll fall if you try,
Show them all that though this may not be a lie,
Accomplishing anything first starts with a try,
Don't fret if you happen to fall,
Rise up again and prove to them all,
That you will get out of this valley even if you must crawl,
Rise up high above all of those nay-sayers,
Show them if life is a game you are the best player
