May 1, 2023 — When my father / composer Steve McGee (also curator) passed away July 8, 2022, I never knew the song he had written 5 years ago would come to make sense. I was visited by a Hawk two weeks after he passed and lone and behold he placed a, “BIRD,” on a song about rising high in the sky five years ago. It is very appropriate to coin this song — the official song of Hawk Studios. RISE UP!!

Lyrics to “Rise” Song

“RISE” – Steve McGee
2017
I am rising
from my ashes
flying high
into the sky
feeling good
just like a newborn
free from darkness
touching the light
I’m rising high
I’m rising high
above it all’
I’m rising high
rising high
above it all
the stars are shining
warm and bright’
and i am flying into the light
My broken heart
its on the mountain’
my roots are grounded’
with a newfound love
I’m rising high
I’m rising high
above it all’
I’m rising high
rising high
above it all’
I am rising
from my ashes
flying high
into the sky
feeling good
just like a newborn
free from darkness
touching the light
I’m rising high
I’m rising high
above it all’
I’m rising high
I’m rising high
above it all’
