I arise above what you know 
Above the person you always knew me to be
Above the presumption you had on me
Above the confinement you made me believe in
I arise, far above the condemnation I laid on me
Above the ones you made me believe
Above the ideas you call reality
Far above the intuition that this is suppose to be
I arise, out from the ashes I created myself
Out of the cages I built over the years
Cages in my mind, cages in my thought
I arise and watch the way you watch me
I arise so you stare at me
Stare at the woman you said I will never become
Stare at the woman you thought will always be there
I arise before the wake of day.
