lyrics
Build me up, rebuild from the rubble
- the wasteland that I’d wallowed in. (hmm—)
Found myself down in the gutter.
Woke to a face I didn’t recognize. (hmm—)
Something deep inside of me
pulled me up from the mire and mud
and the spirit warned, “Don’t give ‘em your blood…
…and never give them the power over your emotions.
Never compromise your self-respect.
Never let them walk on your pride…”
(And) then pulled me up, up from the dark
to overcome, un-destroy, decide…
I had a resurrection…
- brought back from the bleakest hour.
And on the downward spiral,
(I was) blessed with the chance to try again.
I had a resurrection…
Gotta swim straight through the water.
Swim to the edge of the dark blue sea. (hmm—)
Made it through the pools of sorrow
and I’ll make it through tomorrow. (hmm—)
