I RISE UP SINGING
This morning I rise up singing
From the night’s bed of dreams,
Eager to use every moment
Of this blossoming day to choose
Love over the fear and pain
Which has been darkening
My own heart’s inner sight.
It’s true that life has been
A battle between darkness and light,
And that I have allowed others,
Situations and circumstances to
Rule over me and determine
My state of mind and mood.
I’ve been at the mercy of
People, places and things which
Have caused me to rise and fall
On a wild roller coaster ride.
But today is the day I awaken to loving,
Knowing and appreciating myself.
Today I choose the power of Love to
Rule over everything that threatens me,
And to live in the freedom of knowing
Myself to be precious, worthy and lovable.
Today I choose to rise up singing
In celebration of the shining one
I really am and have always been.
Today I rise up singing the
Songs of liberation, like the eagle
Who knows that the limitless sky
Is here to soar up in, to
Rise and rise again and again.
