Let Me Rise

Let me rise in the morning, feel the joy in living
Let me open my heart like a flower unfolds
When my burden is heavy, would you walk beside me?
Would you open your heart, shine a light for my soul?

Little flowers in the desert
Can’t take the heat of the midday sun
But they open up their petals
When the day has just begun

D - G -  / - - G - / D - G - / C - D - 

I was wandering in that desert
Desperate for a sign of rain
Your heart shone out like a beacon
Called my soul back home again

We’re just like those little flowers
Who put down roots in the burning sand
We’ve got to gather love around us
And find our way in a thirsty land
