Why did you choose the song?

With the events at the capitol and my own life's events, I can't forget that I am not different than you going through similar issues.

What mood were you in before/after the song?

Disappointed in myself for the late pushout and happy that I was overcoming my struggles despite still having many.

Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long?

I am not silent on this episode as you will notice in the intro (loud) and in some of the recordings I am forgetting not to sing-a-long.

Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

All of them.

Holy G:
It was early one morning
Just about the break of day
When Jesus came & he touched me
And then he washed my tears away
I started running, I started shouting
There was no room for doubting
Oh I (Choir) I got nothing but the Holy Ghost

Andra:
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again

WSO:
We'll walk hand in hand, someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace, someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
We are not afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid, today
