RISE Lyrics

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted

But they who wait for the Lord, shall renew their strength

I took a leap of faith, I'll defend that, no progress if I step back

I don't want to strive for acceptance, let me find a way to your heart

What you offer me is a dream life, I don't even know what it looks like

Show me what you mean when you say keep faith, you're bout to rise

I don't want to live like, I don't need you when I do

I'm nothing without you beside me

Reach out from the darkness, would you save me from myself

You're the only one to help control this

All I know is what you said, you won't throw me aside (I will rise, I will rise up)

All I know is what you said, you won't throw me aside (I will rise, I will rise up)

Rise, rise up high

Rise, rise up high

Why don't you tell me, tell me what I need most

I need your guidance, lead me to grace

Why do I try to pretend that I'm fine

When I know it's not the same

I don't want to live like, I don't need you when I do

I'm nothing without you beside me

Reach out from the darkness, would you save me from myself

You're the only one to help control this

Break it down like automobiles

(Down, down, down, down)

Break it down body all of my fears

(Down, down, down, down)

Break it down like automobiles

Break it down, down sharing my wealth

Break it down signing Hollywood deals

Break it down, break it down, down

Rise, rise up high

Rise, rise up high

They gon' tell me that they know what's best for me, I tried to let you be

I'm a stranger, estranged from what could be

They gon' tell me that they got what I don't have

I gave all that I had, now that I'm older, I wait for you to leave

Oh, I need to follow you now

Chase you down, cuz without you I don't move out

In my mind it be looking like a shootout

Getting tired of the back and forth tug o' war

Is it broken, am I something you can settle for

When I call am I someone that you won't ignore

Missed calls are the only ones to answer for

Why try, on my own I'm weak, I just gotta' make it through one more week

Hosanna, hosanna

Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna, hosanna

Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna, hosanna

Hosanna in the highest

I don't want to live like, I don't need you when I do

I'm nothing without you beside me

Reach out from the darkness, would you save me from myself

You're the only one to help control this

All I know is what you said, you won't throw me aside (I will rise, I will rise up)

All I know is what you said, you won't throw me aside (I will rise, I will rise up)

Rise, rise up high

Rise, rise up high
