Seven Times You Rise lyrics

I fell seven times I counted each one Not because I'm weak but because I'm human Falling isn't the end it's part of the Moon That disappears and returns nothing is in vain Addiction wears the face of a caregiver But the embrace it offers slowly suffocates you It feels like relief it feels like a way out But it's the anchor that keeps you from swimming There's no weakness in asking for help There's courage in looking inward and seeing What no longer serves you what's a hindrance And having the discipline to let go and start over What doesn't control you shouldn't cost you your peace What does control you demands action now Not tomorrow not when it's gone too far Now while tomorrow hasn't anchored you yet Seven times you fell Seven times you rise Not because it's easy because it's necessary The chains that bind you aren't solid They're habit and habit, too, is temporary Taking care of yourself isn't a luxury it's the bare minimum It's what's left when everything's adrift Self-care isn't a timid path It's the deepest root the one that still survives Impermanence isn't a punishment It's what ensures that pain doesn't last forever The same thing that dissolves its foundation Also dissolves the weight that holds you back What you can't control shouldn't cost you your peace What you can control demands your action now Not tomorrow not when it's too late Now while tomorrow still doesn't anchor you Seven times you fell Seven times you rise again Not because it's easy because it's necessary The chains that bind you aren't solid They're habit and habit, too, is temporary Resist Resist Resist Not for glory not for applause Resist because you're unique You can live your own life And that is reason enough The middle path isn't easy It's not surrender it's not excess It's the point where you're in control of what you do No guilt no excuses no turning back Seven times you fell Seven times you rise Not because it's easy because it's necessary The chains that bind you aren't solid They're habit and habit, too, is temporary Seven times Seven times You rise
