Rise Above
[Verse 1]
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 red mist comes
You gotta have a word with yourself
Don't take it out on the one you love
Get your head up, gonna rise above

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 head up, gonna rise above
[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Get your head up, gonna rise above

[Chorus]
And we'll rise where shadows fall (Rise where shadows fall)
And we'll fly where money crawls (Fly where money crawls)
Looking out for a higher love (Looking out for a higher love)
Not gonna fall, gonna rise above (Not gonna fall, gonna rise above)
And we'll rise where shadows fall (We'll rise where shadows fall)
Till the pain can't touch you at all (Till the pain can't touch you at all)
Crazy things you were thinking of (Crazy things you were thinking of)
And we'll rise (Rise where shadows fall)
Fly (Fly where money crawls)
Looking out for a higher love (Looking out for a higher love)
Not gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna rise above
And we'll rise (Rise where shadows fall)
Fly (Pain can't touch you at all)
Crazy things you were thinking of (Crazy things)
Rise above, rise above
