05. Fighting To Survive

Rise
by Building 429



 

Crying on the inside and it cuts me deep
‘Cause I know you’re gonna smile when I fall
I can’t help but feel the fear when I’m standing here
‘Cause I know you’re gonna laugh if I have to crawl

Can you see the desperation? But you don’t know my situation

‘Cause I, I’m fighting to survive
Can’t you see it in my eyes?
Please don’t push me anymore
But I, I’m still fighting to believe
That there is hope for me
Somewhere beneath the very least of these

And I can’t help but feel ashamed when I know the truth
That there was more than I surmised inside your heart
I want to make it go away but you bear the proof
My words burnt through your skin and left you scarred

I didn’t see the desperation; somehow I didn’t see your situation

Because I’ve been fighting to survive
I didn’t see it in your eyes
But I won’t hurt you anymore
And I, I’m fighting to believe
That there is hope for me
Somewhere beneath the least of these

written by Jason Roy

Behind the Song:
"The power of words is this song’s focus. We’ve all been paralyzed by words spoken to us at some point in our lives. Maybe it was our parents, our friends, a co-worker or spouse. Suddenly we feel like the whole world is watching, waiting for us to mess up again. Then one day we realize that we have become the aggressors with words that cut the heart of someone who deserved some grace and forgiveness. In those moments we have the choice to continue this cycle or to stop it dead in its tracks. That’s the day we realize all of us are scared of falling short, and we’re all just fighting to survive." - Jason Roy (Building 429)
