Bamboo Rising

About This Song

Rise steadily, rooted and strong, like bamboo after the rain.

Lyrics

I grew in silence, deep in the wild Roots in the dark, dreaming in miles Storms tried to bend me, I did not break I learned how to bow, but never forsake I am not heavy I am not loud But I stand taller Than any doubt I rise like bamboo Straight to the sky Soft on the outside Fire inside Wind cannot move me Fear cannot stay I bend with the pressure But I grow anyway Hollow and open, light in my core Nothing to prove, I don't push anymore Strength in my stillness, grace in my spine Growing in silence, one line at a time I am not rigid I move with the flow The deeper my roots are The higher I grow I rise like bamboo Straight to the sun Power is quiet Power is won I don't need armor I don't need noise Unbreakable woman Unshaken poise Every storm was shaping me Every fall was training me Now I know Now I see This is who I'm meant to be I rise like bamboo Limitless height Rooted in earth Crowned in the light Soft but relentless Wild and true I bend I breathe I break through Not loud Not heavy Just rising
