To rise, to resist; to relinquish, to carry on
The ghosts of the past still remain
Resilience paves a path to uncertainty
For what may never come
Hardships merely strengthen
While the weak fall beneath
The last one standing; the drive to reach
For what may never come
They said to resign, to raise the white flag
Align with the shadows and fade away
Daybreak leads to renewed belief
For what may never come
