Rise

There's a raven outside my windowTrying hard to fly against the windAnd there's a voice deep down inside meSayin' let it go and let it inYou're gonna fall to the earth sometimesYou're gonna taste the dirt sometimesThen you're gonna riseThere's a shelf inside my houseWhere the ashes of the anger hideAnd there's a voice deep down inside meSays it's time to change the story of my prideYou're gonna fall to the earth sometimesYou're gonna taste the dirt sometimesThen you're gonna rise, gonna riseWhy is it so damn easyTo make it so damn hard?There's a hope I dare not speakFrustrating, most people findYou don't need to change to set me freeNo, 'cause I am always free to change my mindGonna fall to the earth sometimesYou're gonna taste the dirt sometimesYou're gonna really hurt sometimesYou're gonna feel just like you're dyingThen you're gonna riseYou're gonna riseYou're gonna riseRise upYou're gonna riseRise upRise upRise upCome on and rise upRise up
