You can stand beside the madness like a falling tear
You can hold onto the sadness like a souvenir
Or you can close your eyes and see your life
Like the air
You can tap into the strength you never knew you had
You can breathe into your faith, no matter where you’re at
Just close your eyes and change your life
Like the air
Like the air you can rise
From the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide
Like the heat it in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind
And make your higher power proud
You can rise
Like the air you can rise
The earth can pull you down with all its gravity
And the measure of your worth is sometimes hard to see
So just hold on, when the night is done
Like the sun
Like the air you can rise
From the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide
Like the heat it in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind
And make your higher power proud
You can rise
Like the air you can rise
So even when your bones feel like weights
And it’s hard to lift the smile on your perfect face
You can still find a peaceful place
Close your eyes until you're floating up in outer space
It’ll be alright, they’re just jealous of your highs
So they can knock you down, but
Like the air you can rise
From the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide
Like the heat it in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind
And make your higher power proud
You can rise
Like the air you can rise
Like the air you can rise
