There’s the owl and the hawk
Up above in the high fronds
One is always on watch
The other on the prey hunt
And you’re feeling like an outcast
While they’re speaking behind your back
Don’t fight your shame, don’t fight the pain
Because one day you’re going to look back
You were rising to be stronger
You fight the flames, you’re the fire brigade
Because you made those sacrifices
To be rising from the ashes
If you’re outside the box
You’ll be walking on the dry brush
Just one spark is enough
To instigate a hot fuss
And they still see you as a failure
One crack on top of the other
Don’t fight your shame, don’t fight the pain
Because one day you’re going to look back
You were rising to be stronger
You fight the flames, you’re the fire brigade
Because you made those sacrifices
To be rising from the ashes
Dreams will help you build up your defenses
Don’t worry about the consequences
Dreams will help you bring down all the fences
Don’t worry about the consequences
Don’t fight your shame, don’t fight the pain
Because one day you’re going to look back
You were rising to be stronger
You fight the flames, you’re the fire brigade
Because you made those sacrifices
To be rising from the ashes
Go fight the flames
