Rise

You can stand beside the madness like a fallen tear

You can hold on to the sadness like a souvenir

Or you can close your eyes

And see your life

Like the air

You can tap into the strength you never knew you had

You can breathe into your faith no matter where you′re at

Just close your eyes and change your life

Like the air

Like the air, you can rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover

You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer

Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down

But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud

You can rise

Like the air, you can rise

The earth can pull you down with all its gravity

And the measure of your worth is sometimes hard to see

So just hold on, when the night is done

Like the sun

Like the air, you can rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover

You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer

Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down

But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud

You can rise

Like the air, you can rise

So even when your bones feel like weights

And it's hard to lift the smile on your perfect face

You can still find a peaceful place

Close your eyes until you′re floating up in outer space

It'll be alright, they're just jealous of your highs

So they can knock you down but

Like the air, you can rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover

You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer

Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down

But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud

You can rise

Like the air, you can rise

Like the air, you can rise
