JEALOUS COWARDS TRY TO CONTROL
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
THEY DISTORT WHAT WE SAY
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
TRY AND STOP WHAT WE DO
RISE ABOVE
WHEN THEY CAN'T DO IT THEMSELVES

WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR ABUSE
TRY TO STOP US IT'S NO USE

SOCIETY'S ARMS OF CONTROL
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
THINK THEY'RE SMART
CAN'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
LAUGH AT US
BEHIND OUR BACKS
I FIND SATISFACTION
IN WHAT THEY LACK

WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR ABUSE
TRY TO STOP US IT'S NO USE

WE ARE BORN WITH A CHANCE
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
I AM GONNA HAVE MY CHANCE
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE

WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR ABUSE
TRY TO STOP US IT'S NO USE

RISE ABOVE
RISE ABOVE
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVEThe sky is grey bordem kicks in again
I don't know if I'll ever win
I'm not sure if it's worth it
I'll just have to wait and see
surrounded by people I don't understand
trying to do my best I've got a plan
putting me to the test I'm not alone
it's still all up to me

I'll rise above and I'll look down
it all seems so miniscule
I'll riducule the problems that
towered over me

all I want to know is how to love myself
I've had money keep your material wealth
seems like security
just you wait and see
sometimes I bomb I want to give it up
people suck I feel it building up
why don't you let me be?
do you want a piece of me?

I'll step back and take
another look see I mistook
I could not see the forest for the trees
