Rise Above It All lyrics

I want to rise above the crowd

I want to rise above the scene

I want to rise above this now

This foolish ignorance of dreams

I don’t want to know who I will be

Or if I ever should become

I want to rise above the scene

I want to rise above it all

I don’t want to hold somebody’s hand

Like it’s a rock firm in the stream

I don’t want tell you that I’ve loved

Until I know what it all means

I need to know what I’m to lose

Before I ever try to hold

I want to rise above your love

I want to rise above it all

I want to rise above your love

I want to rise above it all

But I’ve got dreams so meant for breaking

And no one feels inclined to break my fall

Oh, I’ve got kindness for the taking

They took it all

There’s a world dancing before me

But I’ve so little time to hear its call

I want to rise above this feeling

I want to rise above it all

I want to hear Nick, Leonard, Christie

I want to know the things they’ve seen

And if the world was like their songs

I could decipher what it means

I need to know just where the time goes

With no bad thoughts caught in between

I want to rise above this world

I want to rise above it all

I want to rise above this world

I want to rise above it all, oh no

I want to rise above this world

I want to rise above and rise above

And rise above it all
