[Verse 1]
When the ones who run the firehouse
Are the ones who start the fire
And the lawless make the laws
And every preacher is a liar
When the ones who damn the innocent
Are 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
[Chorus]
And you said rise above
Open your eyes up.
And you said rise above
I can’t, I can’t
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
That you can rise above
Swing through the skies above
And you shall rise above
Yourself
[Bridge]
Know that I’ll be watching
Know that I’ll be waiting
[Peter/SM]
Standing on the precipice
I can soar away from this
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
When the ones who run the firehouse
Are the ones who start the fire
And the lawless make the laws
And every preacher is a liar
When the ones who damn the innocent
Are 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
[Chorus]
And you said rise above
Open your eyes up.
And you said rise above
I can’t, I can’t
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
That you can rise above
Swing through the skies above
And you shall rise above
Yourself
[Bridge]
Know that I’ll be watching
Know that I’ll be waiting

I can soar away from this

Open your eyes up
(Rise above yourself and take control)
And you can rise above

(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

(I’ve been watching and waiting for you)
And you can rise above
Open your eyes to love
And you can rise above
