Rise Above 2

When the ones who run the firehouse are the ones who start the fire
 And the lawless make the laws
 And evey preacher is a liar
 When the ones that damn the innocent
 Well they on the nightly news
 And front page
 An old man said to me
 It's not who but what you know
 And knowledge isn't wisdom without control
 Better still to be the changes
 That you want to see
 But they come slow, I know
 And you said rise above
 Open your eyes up
 And you said rise above
 I can't, I can't
 For every heart that bleeds
 Will colour your world red
 And the sorrow in the night
 Will be the blue you cannot shed
 But your strength will be a vision
 Beyond visibility
 And the gift you have within
 Will give you new eyes to see
 That you can rise above
 Swing through the skies above
 And you shall rise above
 Yourself
 Know that I'll be watching
 Know that I'll be waiting
 Standing on the precipice
 I can soar away from this
 And you can rise above
 Free your soul
 Open your eyes up
 Rise above yourself and take control
 And you can rise above
 The need to love
 Yourself
 To release yourself and rise above it all
 And you can rise above
 I will be there
 Open your eyes up
 You were never alone
 And you can rise above
 Inside your dreams
 Yourself
 I've been watching and waiting for you
 And you can rise above
 Open your eyes to love
 And you can rise above
 Yourself
 And every heart that bleeds
 Will colour your world red
 And the sorrow in the night
 Will be the blue you cannot shed
 And your strength will be a vision
 Beyond visibility
 And the gift you have before you
 Will give you new eyes to see
