Raise Up

This ain't a fairy-tale,
there's no way to tip the scales
for each win I seem to fail,
that's the way it goes.
Sometimes I ain't that tough,
my best ain't good enough,
when I try and shake it off,
I hit that low.
but the more that it hurts me,
the more I keep on,
i reach down inside me
and know that i will over come.
If i lose my strength,
if I'm hanging by a thread,
if I'm going under,
I'll raise up.
Just like a river flowing,
I bend but never broken,
in time ever cloud disappears like smoke,
and when my edge is closer
and I'm slowly going over those things
won't get me down
when I'm up against the ropes.
the more that you stop me,
the faster i run,
it's never that easy
but i know that will overcome.
If i fall from grace,
if I'm feeling out of place,
when we must just go on together.
I raise up
I raise up, up, up, up, up.
up, up,
I raise up, up, up,
i raise up
I raise up, up, up, up, up.
up, up,
I raise up, up, up,
i raise up
Just like a river flowing,
I bend but never broken,
in time ever cloud disappears like smoke.
If i lose my strength,
if I'm hanging by a thread,
if I'm going under,
I'll raise up.
If i lose my strength,
if I'm hanging by a thread,
if I'm going under,
I'll raise up.
If i fall from grace,
if I'm feeling out of place,
when we must just go on together.
I raise up,
I raise up, up, up, up, up
i raise up up, up
I raise up,
I raise up, up, up, up, up
I raise up,
I raise up, up, up,
I raise up,
If I lose my strength,
If I'm going under,
Yeah I raise up.
 If i fall from grace
but I'm feeling out of place.
Yeah I raise up.
