1. Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come for my support
Did you travel this way to surprise me today
By standing at my door
2. Do you know how much you hurt me
How much you hurt us all
My brother he cried, only four feet high
See the markings on the wall
Pre-Chorus
It was hard times growing up here without you
Now I try to figure out how to get through
I am rising up, a little by little
I am moving from the outside to the middle
I am going where I have never gone before
I am rising up, gonna get real high
I am moving up, gonna touch the sky
I slowly turn my back on the fog of war
And I walk away
3. I don?t know what you were thinking
Leaving us behind
With no money at all, oh we felt so small
But I missed you all the time
4. We went to sleep when we were hungry
This was back in ?95
Mother?s cry was our lullaby
When we layed in bed at night
Pre-Chorus
It was hard times growing up here without you
Now I try to figure out how to get through
I am rising up, a little by little
I am moving from the outside to the middle
I am going where I have never gone before
I am rising up, gonna get real high
I am moving up, gonna touch the sky
I slowly turn my back on the fog of war
And I walk away
I am rising up, a little by little
I am moving from the outside to the middle
I am going where I have never gone before
I am rising up, gonna get real high
I am moving up, gonna touch the sky
I slowly turn my back on the fog of war
And I walk away
