Lyrics
Rise Above
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The pills wear off, the clock runs slow
There's tears on a window-pane
Your mind has no good place to go
Whatever was said remains
And it all goes wrong when the redness comes
You've got to have a word with yourself
Don't take it out on the one you love
Get your head up, gonna rise above
And we'll rise where shadows fall
And we'll fly where money crawls
Looking out for a higher love
Not gonno fall, gonna rise above
And we'll rise where shadows fall
Till the pain can't touch you at all
Crazy things you were thinking of
Rise above, rise above
Through the downtime of your lifetime
Time runs right through your hands
It's hard to throw yourself a lifeline
Find the ground on which you stand
And you close your eyes when the darkness comes
You feel someone there by your side
There's a hundred ways to talk of love
Get your heed up, gonna rise above
And we'll rise where shadows fall
And we'll fly where money crawls
Looking out for a higher love
Not gonna fall, gonna rise above
And we'll rise where shadows fall
Till the pain can't touch you at all
Crazy things you were thinking of
Rise above, rise above
