Original lyrics
In the muddy pond you found me
Hands pulling down, heart heavy
You said my name so gently
Then the dark let go, oh
I was buried but breathing
You kept calling me higher
Little by little I'm reaching
To the morning light
Like a lotus, I rise
Like a lotus, I rise
Out of the deep
Into your eyes
Like a lotus, I rise
Like a lotus, I rise
You made the broken bright
I was small
Now I shine
Like a lotus, I rise
Rain on my skin, I kept moving
No shame in the tears I was losing
Love was patient, steady
Certain right where to go
I was buried but breathing
You kept calling me higher
Little by little I'm reaching
To the morning light
Like a lotus, I rise
Like a lotus, I rise
Out of the deep
Into your eyes
Like a lotus, I rise
Like a lotus, I rise
You made the broken bright
I was small
Now I shine
Like a lotus, I rise
From the deep to the open
You are the one who made me new
From the ash to the blooming
I'm alive because of you
From the deep, from the ash
Like a lotus, I rise
Like a lotus, I rise
Out of the deep
Into your eyes
Like a lotus, I rise
Like a lotus, I rise
You made the broken bright
I was small
Now I shine
Like a lotus, I rise
Like a lotus, I rise
Ooh, I said, oh, I
Ooh
Like a lotus, I rise
Like a lotus, I rise
