You can stand beside the madness like a fallen tear You can hold on to the sadness like a souvenir Or you can 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 lie Just close your eyes and change your life Like the air
Like the air You can rise Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover You can rise like the tide, like the heat 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 You can rise Like the air You can 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 down Like the sun Like the air
Like the air Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover You can rise like the tide, like the heat 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 You can rise Like the air You can 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 Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover You can rise like the tide, like the heat 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 You can rise Like the air You can rise
