I want a better
day for you.
I want you to rise.

To rise out of
the depression
and the madness.

I want this for you.
I want happiness
to illuminate

your tough days.
I want you
to shine like

the brightest star.
I want this for you.
I want you to rise.

I want you to
wake up fresh,
embrace the day.

Like a loyal lover
I want each day
to hold you,

make you whole.
I want this
for you.

I want
a better day
for you.

I want
you to
rise.

This is
what I want
for you.
