Kimo Sounds - Rise Steady

I rise slow, but I rise strong.
Took the time it took, now I belong.
Rise slow.
They wanted fire, I gave them roots.
They wanted shortcuts, I gave them truth.
I fell more times than I dared to say,
But every fall just showed me where to stay.
Not fast, not loud, not for the crowd.
Just real, just deep, just minds who keep up.
