From out of the shadows I rise

I wipe the dust from my eyes

I reflect on a journey

Ordained by God only

I see all the ways

God filled my difficult days

Faith has been the key

To manufacturing the new me

I lift my voice

I begin to rejoice

Nothing can compare

To the bond God and I share

From out of the shadows I rise

It should come as no surprise

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve finally learned my name

I don’t hang my head in shame

I stand on solid ground

I share the joy I’ve found

I follow God’s lead

He’s the reason I succeed

And life is better

Cause I embrace it to the letter

From out of the shadows I rise

Let’s leave no doubt

God worked things out

I see my purpose

Rising to the surface

I’ve arrived in a place

Filled with God’s grace

I look at what I’ve known

I see how I’ve grown

I take a stand

As I hold God’s hand

And others see the gleam in my eyes

Cause from out of the shadows I rise
