Lyrics

MY HEART STILL RISES

A song of walking a path after loss, seeking a spark to find joy and life again, and finding the spirit to move on. Each day brings a new sunset with new light and opportunities, with blank pages waiting for your quill to place ink to make your roadway a fresh path. This time, it isn't easy…perhaps meant to be. So many voices are calling out—so many doubts. Pitfalls surround, but as it is said…a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

I am, I said…no way they cried.

I am still young…no way they cried.

Go away…I cried…

I am not too old…to reach for the sky.

The sun still graces my face.

My eyes still twinkle with light.

My heart still rises with each sunrise.

Dreams and challenges are still mine.

Each day, I still soar.

In the wonderment of my time,


My heart still rises with each sunrise.

My eyes still twinkle with light.

Never on my knees

Always in the light, I have one life.

Mountains in view…Today, I still climb.



I am, I said…no way they cried.

I am still young…no way they cried.

Go away, I cried…

Today, I reach for the sky.

All that I am…All I will ever be

Not written in stone

I am more than you see

I am not yet …all I can be

Forward is my call

Never on my knees

My heart still rises with each sunrise.

My eyes still twinkle with light.

Never on my knees


Always in the light, I have one life.

Mountains in view…Today, I still climb.

Today and tomorrow…

My eyes still twinkle with light.

I still soar… soar with me.

Soar with me….
