I can watch the time go by Like a broken tape machine Playing over all the parts Of a forgotten scene Sometimes I can feel the world As if it were a dream All wrapped up inside of me I'd like to set it free I can close my eyes to all the Suffering I see I can tell that all of this is One more test for me So rise! We will rise above it all Rise All throughout our history We try to understand What the books don't tell us is what Hides within the man Still we'll remember all the Pain that brought us here Don't regret the struggles that will Stay in you for years... So rise! We will rise above it all Rise We can rise so high Above the great divided skies We can make ourselves believe We know the reasons why... So rise! We will rise above it all Rise (We will all ascend)
