She Rises “A Tribute to Dr. Iverson”

Female vocalist, mature, r&b, Soulful, jazz, piano, saxophone, meaningful, inspiring

She grew in the soil where history is sewn,
With every step, she carved her throne.
From missed chances to rising high,
She learned that even stars must fall to climb the sky.

Oh, Dr. Iverson, your legacy lives on,
Like a river that carves through rock until the dawn.
A century of grace, a life that defies,
Still, you rise, like the sun in the endless skies.

A scholar, a sage, with degrees in hand,
She walked across stages where few dared to stand.
From Notre Dame’s halls to Vanderbilt’s light,
She chased knowledge like a bird taking flight.

In the crowd of the March, she felt history’s pulse,
Where dreams collided, and hope was the impulse.
She saw Dr. King speak, his words setting fire,
To the flames of equality, lifting hearts higher.

Through storms and struggles, she’d always rise,
Like a tree with deep roots beneath the skies.
She reached for the stars, but her feet stayed true,
Grounded in love, in all she’d been through.

Oh, Dr. Iverson, your legacy lives on,
Like the winds that blow, you’ll never be gone.
A century of grace, of love, and might,
Still, you rise, like the dawn breaking through the night.

You turned every setback into a lesson learned,
Like rivers that bend, but never return.
From a missed step to a grand leap,
You taught us all how to dream, how to keep.

With the heart of a lion and the wisdom of time,
You built bridges with every climb.
A world traveler with stories untold,
You planted seeds of hope, like flowers in gold.

Now from near and far, we gather today,
To honor the life you’ve paved, the way.
A century of living, like a garden in bloom,
Your legacy fills the room, it fills every room.

In every heart, your love takes root,
Like vines that stretch, strong and absolute.
From Mississippi’s soil to the world you’ve explored,
Your spirit remains in everything you’ve poured.

Oh, Dr. Iverson, your legacy lives on,
Like the stars above, your light carries on.
A century of grace, of love, and might,
Still, you rise, like the sun after the night.

Your story’s not finished; it’s etched in the stars,
In every heart you’ve touched, you’ve left your scars.
Still, you rise, still, you stand tall,
A queen, a guide, who gave us it all.

“You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.”

Happy Birthday, Dr. Terry C. Iverson!
