Born in silence, born in black Where the pressure crushes back No sunlight touched this ocean floor Where darkness dwells forevermore But something stirred inside my chest A longing I could not suppress So I rise, through my aching deep My longing heart will never sleep With every pulse, my hope ignites I give my life to touch the light I hunted with a borrowed glow A spark to lure what dared to show But never once in all those years Did warmth or daybreak draw me near A thought awoke that I could not ignore That I was made for something more So I rise, through my aching deep My longing heart will never sleep With every pulse, my hope ignites I give my life to touch the light Now I rise in silent plea A golden hush I now can see Though my heart begins to slow I feel the pure light on me glow So I rise, through depths I’ve known My longing heart, the light has shown Knowing I will lose the fight I give my life to touch the light Let the world remember me, not for fear—but for the dream.
