Yeah,
we
rise
with
the
sun
Looking
back
at
where
we
started
Giving
thanks
for
the
road
we
traveled
Let
the
music
speak
We
walked
a
path
where
the
shadows
were
long
People
spoke
words
that
were
never
quite
strong
They
watched
from
the
distance,
they
offered
no
hand
We
stood
in
the
desert,
we
built
on
the
sand
But
when
we
moved
forward,
the
whispers
began
They
tried
to
break
spirits,
they
plotted
a
plan
But
we
kept
our
focus,
we
kept
our
pace
Finding
our
rhythm
in
this
human
race
Oh,
let
us
be
thankful
for
those
by
our
side
For
the
ones
who
stood
tall
and
opened
their
eyes
We
carry
the
memories,
we
carry
the
light
Through
every
season,
through
every
night
Gratitude
flows
like
a
river
so
deep
For
promises
made
and
the
ones
that
we
keep
I
remember
the
day
when
my
father
left
us
We
were
just
children,
caught
in
the
fuss
Greenwell
was
gone,
and
the
world
felt
so
cold
A
story
of
struggle
that
needs
to
be
told
But
God
was
the
anchor,
the
strength
that
we
found
Lifting
our
hearts
off
the
cold,
hard
ground
We
grew
through
the
struggle,
we
rose
from
the
dust
Building
our
future
on
spirit
and
trust
Oh,
let
us
be
thankful
for
those
by
our
side
For
the
ones
who
stood
tall
and
opened
their
eyes
We
carry
the
memories,
we
carry
the
light
Through
every
season,
through
every
night
Through
every
season,
through
every
night
Gratitude
flows
like
a
river
so
deep
For
promises
made
and
the
ones
that
we
keep
So
mother,
we
honor
the
love
that
you
gave
The
sacrifices
made,
the
paths
that
you
paved
May
blessings
surround
you,
may
your
joy
be
immense
A
life
full
of
beauty,
makes
perfect
sense
To
all
who
have
helped
us
along
the
way
We
offer
our
thanks
at
the
close
of
the
day
It
is
easy
to
look
at
the
mountains
we
climbed
And
leave
all
the
bitterness
far
behind
We
are
the
product
of
love
and
of
grace
Reflecting
the
kindness
we
found
in
this
place
To
our
elders
who
taught
us
to
stand
on
our
feet
We
honor
the
journey,
the
bitter
and
sweet
Oh,
let
us
be
thankful
for
those
by
our
side
For
the
ones
who
stood
tall
and
opened
their
eyes
We
carry
the
memories,
we
carry
the
light
Through
every
season,
through
every
night
Gratitude
flows
like
a
river
so
deep
For
promises
made
and
the
ones
that
we
keep
For
promises
made
and
the
ones
that
we
keep
Yeah,
we
look
forward
now
With
love
in
our
hearts
Peace
to
the
family
Peace
to
the
ones
who
kept
us
whole
Walking
on,
grateful
heart (
