==Lyrics==
I used to be afraid of giving upThe road was just too toughOut here on my ownMy path was so aloneBut now I see clearlyEverything within meIs reaching up to the skyI can see the world with open eyesYou can’t let it pass youJust take, hold and grasp itNow’s the time to take a chanceWith the strength of a thousand menClimbing to my feet againDry those tears from your eyesAnd everything will be alrightYou know the rainbow’s just in sightDust your wings off as you riseIf your heart feels overwhelmedJust know you’re never by yourselfPut your hand in mine, hold your head up highAnd together we’ll riseNever lift your head up to the skyAnd find yourself asking, "Why?"Never see them eye to eyeWith the hardships of lifeBut faith is where my heart isLet energy replace my doubtsWon't let my trials get the best of meI’m marching forth towards my destinyYou can’t let it pass youJust take, hold and grasp itNow’s the time to take a chanceWith the strength of a thousand menClimbing to my feet againDry those tears from your eyesAnd everything will be alrightYou know the rainbow’s just in sightDust your wings off as you riseIf your heart feels overwhelmedJust know you’re never by yourselfPut your hand in mine, hold your head up highAnd together we’ll riseTogether we can do anythingWe’ll riseWe can make it through anythingWe’ll riseTogether we can do anythingWe’ll rise, we’ll rise, we’ll riseYou can try to hurt meDoubt me and desert meI’ll feel the will of kingsWith my mind I’ll plant a seedAnd you know a tree will growAnd take me inTo safety’s armsI will descendDry those tears from your eyesAnd everything will be alrightYou know the rainbow’s just in sightDust your wings off as you riseIf your heart feels overwhelmedJust know you’re never by yourselfPut your hand in mine, hold your head up highAnd together we’ll riseTogether we can do anythingWe’ll riseWe can make it through anythingWe’ll riseTogether we can do anythingWe’ll rise, we’ll rise, we’ll riseTogether we can do anythingWe’ll riseWe can make it through anythingWe’ll riseTogether we can do anythingWe’ll rise, we’ll rise, we’ll rise
