Honor Won’t Allow My Spirit Just To Stall
I’ve been walking through the shadows
Tracing footsteps I outgrew
Every echo tries to pull me
Back into the life I knew
But the silence starts to tremble
When the truth begins to call
I don’t rise for songs of glory
I rise so I don’t crawl
It’s not the world that keeps on waiting
It’s the fire in my bones debating
I rise—
Not because the world is calling me at all
I rise—
‘Cause honor won’t allow my spirit just to stall
I’ve been down, but I won’t stay too long
I rise again, I rise strong
Heavy memories try to haunt me
With the weight I used to bear
Every doubt becomes an anchor
Every truth becomes repair
But the quiet breaks to thunder
When I feel the curtain fall
I don’t stand for their attention
I stand so I stand tall
It’s not applause that I’ve been chasing
Just the pulse that keeps me bracing
I rise—
Not because the world is calling me at all
I rise—
‘Cause honor won’t allow my spirit just to stall
I’ve been down, but I won’t stay too long
I rise again, I rise strong
Every fall is just a rhythm
Every bruise another song
Every heartbeat writes the reason
Why I won’t stay down too long
Lift me up—
Not the world, but what’s inside me
Hold me up—
‘Cause my honor still reminds me
Heavy memories try to haunt me
With the weight I used to bear
Every doubt becomes an anchor
Every truth becomes repair
But the quiet breaks to thunder
When I feel the curtain fall
I don’t stand for their attention
I stand so I stand tall
It’s not applause that I’ve been chasing
Just the pulse that keeps me bracing
I rise—
Not because the world is calling me at all
I rise—
‘Cause honor won’t allow my spirit just to stall
I’ve been down, but I won’t stay too long
I rise again, I rise strong
I rise—
Not because the world is calling me at all
I rise—
‘Cause honor never let my spirit learn to crawl
If I break, I’ll rise above it all
I rise again—
I rise strong.
