The rise up is never an easy thing

Having lived and dwelt in toxic dreams,

That reflect the despairing of existence

From the gutter we put up our resistance,

We battled hard to survive

What we know as a hard knock life

We suffered much along the way

The trials and tribulations were often grave

But strong we were as we worked in an inspired state

Used our potential everyday

In a hope that somehow it may bring about change

And rise us up to claim our place

Among the legends and the greats

Oh, to be regaled in this special place of grace

So that maybe I could light a way

To help others find this inspirational way to create

So that they can also rise and take their place

In this special place of grace.
