Raise Up

This ain't a fairy-tale

There's no way to tip the scales

For each win I seem to fail

That's the way it goes

Sometimes I ain't that tough

My best ain't good enough

When I try and shake it off

I hit that low

But the more that it hurts me

The more I keep on

I reach down inside me

And know that i will over come

If i lose my strength

If I'm hanging by a thread

If I'm going under

I'll raise up

Just like a river flowing

I bend but never broken

In time ever cloud disappears like smoke

And when my edge is closer

And I'm slowly going over those things

Won't get me down

When I'm up against the ropes

The more that you stop me

The faster i run

It's never that easy

But i know that will overcome

If i fall from grace

If I'm feeling out of place

When we must just go on together

I raise up

I raise up up up up up

Up up

I raise up up up

I raise up

I raise up up up up up

Up up

I raise up up up

I raise up

Just like a river flowing

I bend but never broken

In time ever cloud disappears like smoke

If i lose my strength

If I'm hanging by a thread

If I'm going under

I'll raise up

If i lose my strength

If I'm hanging by a thread

If I'm going under

I'll raise up

If i fall from grace

If I'm feeling out of place

When we must just go on together

I raise up up

I raise up up up

I raise up up up

I raise up

I raise up

I raise up

I raise up up up

I raise up

If I lose my strength

If I'm going under

Yeah I raise up

If i fall from grace

But I'm feeling out of place

Yeah I raise up
