0:03It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
0:08It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin'
0:13It's not forgoin' of the lie
0:15It's not the openin' of eyes
0:18It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
0:22It's not the shade we should be cast in
0:27It's the light and it's the obstacle that casts it
0:32It's the heat that drives the light
0:35It's the fire it ignites
0:37It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
0:42It's not the song, it is the singin'
0:47It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin'
0:52It is the bringin' of the line
0:55It is the bearin' of the rhyme
