...and driven towards ascension from the ashes of the past
With these words as a foundation and the future here at last
I have risen from my knees and won't again be beaten down

To just crumble at your feet and
Surrender values I've cherished all along
Convictions grow stronger everyday

Because I know who I am and that's not changing
I'll live by my word and always strive to respect
And those who understand will stand by my side

My dedication is a bond secured by trust
Which often doesn't seem to some to mean that much
But I am grasping at a vision of what this life means to me

And in the light of these who don't seem to care
I refuse to stand back and just let it fade
Convictions grow stronger everyday

Because I know who I am and that's not changing
To those who live by their word and always strive to respect
When all is said and done I'll stand by your side

Reaching higher always striving towards ascension
