"Rise" lyrics
"Rise"
There's a raven outside my window
Trying hard to fly against the wind
And there's a voice deep down inside me
Sayin' let it go and let it in
You're gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You're gonna taste the dirt sometimes
Then you're gonna rise
There's a shelf inside my house
Where the ashes of the anger hide
And there's a voice deep down inside me
Says it's time to change the story of my pride
You're gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You're gonna taste the dirt sometimes
Then you're gonna rise, gonna rise
Why is it so damn easy
To make it so damn hard?
There's a hope I dare not speak
Frustrating, most people find
You don't need to change to set me free
No, 'cause I am always free to change my mind
Gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You're gonna taste the dirt sometimes
You're gonna really hurt sometimes
You're gonna feel just like you're dying
Then you're gonna rise
You're gonna rise
You're gonna rise
Rise up
You're gonna rise
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Come on and rise up
Rise up

Amanda Marshall - "Trust Me (This Is Love)" I look at this mountain
So many heart aches wide
And I can't help but wonder

Wilson Phillips - "A Reason To Believe" If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe
