RISE ABOVE

There’ll come a time
When you feel you’ve reached the end
You’ll fall down
And feel you can’t get up again
You tell yourself
Give up this dream
There’s no way you can win

The hardest part is not the distance
Or the struggle and the pain
Not the endless time spent waiting
Just to be denied again
It’s holding on when you’re not strong

CHORUS:
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
IF YOU BELIEVE
MORE THAN A WANT
IT’S WHAT YOU NEED
YOU NEVER WANTED ANYTHING SO MUCH
EVER FELT A GREATER NEED TO TOUCH
IT’S WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE COMPLETE
IF YOU BELIEVE IT’S OUT OF LOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE

You’ve come so close
Turned that spark into a flame
Now dark clouds of fate
Leave you standing in the rain
And once again
You’re back where you began
On the outside
Looking in

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
It’s not the moment when you reach that star
Or walk into the winner’s ring
It’s the moment you know in your heart
You can do anything

REPEAT CHORUS
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
YOU NEVER WANTED ANYTHING SO MUCH
EVER FELT A GREATER NEED TO TOUCH
IT’S WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE COMPLETE
IF YOU BELIEVE IT’S OUT OF LOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
