I was alone
I was a starving eremite without a home
And the sand in the hourglass pouring on
A howling wolf without a pack
Little did I know
There was a seed
And with some water and attention, it would lead
Into a leaf turning into a tree
Roots spreading through the darkest woods
Little did I know, I didn't know
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cutting right through the fire
Turning the wind
Right before my eyes
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam
And so, I arise
On my own
Kept walking through the wilderness 'til I had grown
Into a thousand-year-old oak, give me a throne
And I'll wear the crown of thorns
Little did I know, I didn't know
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cutting right through the fire
Turning the wind
Right before my eyes
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam
And so, I arise
And so, I arise
Oh, I didn't know
And so, I arise
Oh, I didn't know
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cutting right through the fire
Turning the wind
Right before my eyes
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam
And so, I arise
And so, I arise
