rise
How can the sun shine so bright when nothing in my world is right
how can the sky be so blue with all this hell I go through
such a good disguise for the pain inside all of our eyes
living day to day we do our best to just look away
The world seems so innocent just before dawn
it's that silent deception that keeps me hanging on to
rise
despite this world
rise
above my pain
rise
despite this hate
and I will rise again
And if the sun never shines again
I'll still be standing
and if the rain never falls again
I'll still be standing
swore I'd never be where I am today
but I'm still standing
wide eyed I conquer every fear
and I'm still standing
all I need is the strength to breathe
and all I need are these eyes to see to
and for what it's worth I'll give it all I have
every last bit of me for every one of you
I take it all in stride and keep the pain inside
and when I'm gone my headstone will
read the words of a much better man
yet I will
