Rise!

Khalid Mukhtar · January 19, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Here’s a motivational piece I wrote last night. If you find yourself performing it, do drop me a recording :-).
There’s a fire in your eyes. It’s your day to rise,
Time to light the skies with the burning cries
Of a fighter with no fear cuz the fear all dies
This day you rise with a fire in your eyes.

Set the field ablaze for a thousand days,
Let them feel the heat of the toil that pays
For a body that wields from a mind that plays
The resolve of a heart in so many ways
That the longer it burns, the stronger you feel
Cuz that’s the effect of heat on steel,
So burn till you earn what you yearn to seal,
And when the victory rains, let the rain reveal
Who you really are – one body, one mind,
One soul, one machine that’s been designed
To light the skies with the burning cries
Of a fighter with no fear cuz the fear all dies
This day you rise with a fire in your eyes.

It’s your day to rise, your day to rise.

RISE!
