Strive to Be - Dust lyrics

[Verse 1: Yahosh Bonner] I was made from the ashes I was part of the Earth And I could stay in the ground Or find the way out And shake off the dearth [Pre-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner] I cried to my Maker and He saved my soul And I'm headed to the city with the streets of gold Far on the opposite side of the setting sun [Chorus: Yahosh Bonner] I'm rising up, my soul is on fire Nothing's got a hold on me I'm rising up, up from the rubble I was drownin', but now I'm free My chains are broken, I am a better man I found my way to the promised land I'm not who I was I'm rising up from the dust [Post-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner] Rising up (I'm rising up) I'm rising up, I'm rising up Rising up (I'm rising up) [Verse 2: Yahosh Bonner] Like a diamond under pressure Like metal to the flame I was broken down But I'm not broken now I'm stronger from all the pain [Pre-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner] The rivers that I crossed are gonna wash me clean And the summit's that I'm on will help my blind eye see Far on the opposite side, and though it's a slow climb [Chorus: Yahosh Bonner] I'm rising up, my soul is on fire Nothing's got a hold on me I'm rising up, up from the rubble I was drownin', but now I'm free My chains are broken, I am a better man I found my way to the promised land I'm not who I was I'm rising up from the dust [Post-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner] Rising up (I'm rising up) I'm rising up, I'm rising up Rising up (I'm rising up) [Chorus: Yahosh Bonner] I'm rising up, my soul is on fire (Soul is on fire) Nothing's got a hold on me (Hold on me) I'm rising up, up from the rubble I was drownin', but now I'm free My chains are broken, I am a better man I found my way to the promised land I'm not who I was (Oh no) I'm rising up from the dust [Post-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner] Rising up (I'm rising up) I'm rising up, I'm rising up Rising up (Mm-mmm) I'm rising up from the dust
