## Lyrics

I was bound, was tired

Hadn't seen a light so long

Thought I lost my fight

Couldn't find my way back home

And I felt the light stepping out of me

I was bound, and tired

Waiting for daylight (Daylight daylight, and I)

Bang my head against the wall

Though I felt light headed, now I know I will not fall

I will rise above it all

Found what I was searching for

Though I felt light headed

I should have failed, and nailed the floor

Instead I rose above it all

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Bang my head against the wall

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Instead I rose above it all

(Bang my head against the wall)

When you think you're giving up, just know

You might think you're dying but you won't

And you feel the life stepping out of you

But when you think of giving up, don't (Oh)

Bang your head against the wall

You may feel light headed, but you won't crawl, no, you won't fall

You will rise above it all

You'll find what you're searching for

And you may feel light headed

You think you're gonna hit the floor

Instead you rise above it all

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Bang your head against the wall

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Instead you rise above it all

(Bang my head against the wall)

I have broken wings

I keep trying, keep trying

No I won't give up

Oh I'm flying, oh I'm flying

Bang my head against the wall

Though I feel light headed, now I know I will not fall

I will rise above it all

Found what I was searching for

Though I felt light headed,

I should have failed, and nailed the floor

Instead I rose above it all

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Bang my head against the wall

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Bang my head against the wall (Ooh)

Bang my head against the wall (Ooh)

Instead I rise above it all
