I can feel the lies burnin' my skin
Let me show my deepest thoughts locked in
When you fail me you will know I'm there
Cause dreams and lullabies turn to nightmares
You know I care
I would not dare
I'll take my share
And fly away from you
Now these broken walls become my home
They leaded me through broken glass and stone
My hands were cut I'd sooner lose my life
But as the books unfold oh you know I will survive
I'm still alive, I cannot die
This empty tomb I will, I know I will not hide
And I will rise above
And I will rise above
And I will rise above
And I will rise above
Now its time for me to say good bye
"Oh good bye" yeah
It's time for me to wave to my mothers hand and sigh
I'm still alive I cannot die
This empty tomb I, I will not hide
From you to me don't die
Won't you please just let me be
I will rise above
I will rise above
I will rise above
above above above above
