"Kick Back"
You've been around the block,
You've been branded in scarlet,
Cigarette burns on your arms,
Self-infliction, escape the harm
I can see you touch yourself,
Dealing with the cards you dealt,
But you don't have to run away,
You don't have to be afraid
Show me how to rise (When life is kicking you kick back, don't be a victim of),
Rise above (the mistakes that were made when you were growing up),
Show me how to rise (a young child not taught to be an adult), remember how to love
(raise your arms, you're free, don't have to give it up)
Show me how to rise (When life is kicking you kick back, don't be a victim of),
Rise above (the mistakes that were made when you were growing up),
Show me how to rise (a young child not taught to be an adult), remember how to love
(raise your arms, you're free, don't have to give it up) yourself
In the corner, fetal pose,
Many friends but no one knows,
Scars imprinted on your life,
So your tongue you have to bite
How long will you be this way,
With your dual identity,
Healing happens with release,
Time to stop the wrist that bleeds
Show me how to rise (When life is kicking you kick back, don't be a victim of),
Rise above (the mistakes that were made when you were growing up),
Show me how to rise (a young child not taught to be an adult), remember how to love
(raise your arms, you're free, don't have to give it up)
Show me how to rise (When life is kicking you kick back, don't be a victim of),
Rise above (the mistakes that were made when you were growing up),
Show me how to rise (a young child not taught to be an adult), remember how to love
(raise your arms, you're free, don't have to give it up) yourself
Show me how to rise (show me how to rise),
How to rise above (how to rise above),
Show me how to rise (show me how to rise),
Remember how to love (remember how to love)
Show me how to rise (When life is kicking you kick back, don't be a victim of),
Rise above (the mistakes that were made when you were growing up),
Show me how to rise (a young child not taught to be an adult), remember how to love
(raise your arms, you're free, don't have to give it up)
Show me how to rise (When life is kicking you kick back, don't be a victim of),
Rise above (the mistakes that were made when you were growing up),
Show me how to rise (a young child not taught to be an adult), remember how to love
(raise your arms, you're free, don't have to give it up), yourself
