You can stand beside the madness like a falling piece You can hold onto the sadness like a souvenir Just close your eyes and see your life Like the air You can tap into the strength you never knew you had You can breathe into your faith no matter where you're at Just close your eyes and change your life Like the air Like the air you can Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud Like the air you can rise Rise The earth can pull you down with all its gravity And the measure of your worth is sometimes hard to see So just hold on, when the night is done Like the sun Like the air you can Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud Like the air you can rise Rise So even when your bones feel like weights And it's hard to lift the smile on your perfect face You can still find a peaceful place Close your eyes until you're floating up in outer space It'll be alright, they're just jealous of your highs So they can knock you down, but Like the air you can Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud Like the air you can rise Rise
