Take the light, undarken everything around me Call the clowns and listen closely, i′m lost without you Call your name every day when i feel so helpless I′m fallin′ down but i′ll rise above this, rise above this
Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken For all we know, this void will grow and Everything′s in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open Feels so right, but i′ll end this all before it gets me
Call your name every day, when i feel so helpless I′m fallin′ down, but i′ll rise above this, rise above this Call your name every day, when i seem so helpless I′m fallin′ down, but i′ll rise above this, rise above this doubt
I′ll mend myself before it gets me (i′ll mend myself before it gets me) I′ll mend myself before it gets me (i′ll mend myself before it gets me)
Call your name every day, when i feel so helpless I′m fallin′ down, but i′ll rise above this, rise above this Call your name every day, when i seem so helpless I′m fallin′ down, but i′ll rise above this, rise above this Forty eight ways to say that i′m feelin′ helpless Fallin′ down, fallin down′, but i′ll rise above this, rise above this
Last year and a half I walked out on familiar faces Had to cut some losses Learned to never be complacent I searched for some answers But the bottle couldn′t show them Which took me to some places I never should have been I found that true friends may be The ones you rarely hear from Cause many said they′d be here But now they can′t be found
[Prechorus] Learning sometimes means soul searching There are no words to calm that kind of hurting
[Chorus] I never considered Myself fortunate Bowing to circumstance Searching where to place the blame Selling myself short Looked right into the mirror Face down all my fears I will rise above
The endless thoughts that feed The sleepless nights repeating Almost let me give up The only hope I ever had Trusting too quickly Can end up being too costly Because many people folled me Maybe I just wanted to believe
[Prechorus] [Chorus]
The world can be so cold When you step into the unknown The streets all look familiar That just multiplies the danger There is one thing that′s for certain There′s no one you can count on The change occurs inside you Got to make Your own way
