Rise Above

Lyrics
[Intro]
I wake up every morning, just to do the same old thing
Punch the clock, go to work, and let the hours swing
I'm a worker, a man of toil, my hands are rough and worn
But I've got a dream inside of me, a fire that's been born
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna rise above, gonna leave this town behind
Gonna find a better life, where my dreams I'll find
I'm gonna work hard, gonna make it right
I'm gonna rise above, and take my flight
[Verse 2]
I see the rich folks in their cars, they don't have a care
While I'm stuck here in this rut, with nothing but my share
Of backbreaking work and endless days, a life that's full of strife
But I'm not gonna give up, I'm gonna fight for a better life
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna rise above, gonna leave this town behind
Gonna find a better life, where my dreams I'll find
I'm gonna work hard, gonna make it right
I'm gonna rise above, and take my flight
[Bridge]
I know it won't be easy, there'll be obstacles to face
But I'm not gonna give up, I'm gonna set my own pace
I'm gonna climb that mountain, reach the top so high
And I'll never look back, I'll never ask why
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna rise above, gonna leave this town behind
Gonna find a better life, where my dreams I'll find
I'm gonna work hard, gonna make it right
I'm gonna rise above, and take my flight
[Outro]
I'm a worker, but I'm more than that
I'm a dreamer, a believer, and I'm gonna make my mark
I'm gonna rise above, I'm gonna reach for the stars
And I'm never gonna give up, until I've reached my goals so far
