Rise Above

We did not ask to be put there
To be between friends
To be a barrier for the blows
To be the one begging
To be the one pleading

We did not ask to be put there
To be calling your name
To be ignored in blind fury
To be screaming
To be crying

We did not ask to be put there

But I'm glad we were
I'm glad we were part of that barrier
I'm glad we were begging
I'm glad we were pleading
I'm glad we were calling your name

But I wish that barrier wasn't needed
I wish we could have just gone home
I wish friendships could have been saved another blow
I wish you would have heard our cries
I wish you would have stopped

I wish you would have remembered
Remembered the love we have for you
Remembered the peace He gives us
Remembered who you were
Remembered to rise above


Until next time, rise above.
