Reeve Carney - Rise above 2 lyrics

When the ones who run the firehouse are the ones who start the fire And the lawyers make the laws And every preacher is a liar And the ones that damn the innocent While they own the nightly news And front page An old man said to me Its not who but what you love And knowledge isn't wisdom with our control But still to be the changes that you want to see They come slow I know And you said rise above Open your eyes up And you said rise above But I can't I can't For every heart that bleeds Will color your world red And the sorrow in the night Will be the blue you cannot shed But your strength will be a vision Beyond visibility And the gift you have within Will give you new eyes to see And you can rise above Swing through the skies above And you shall rise above Yourself Know that I'll be watching Know that I'll waiting Standing on the precipice I can't soar away from this And you can rise above (Free your soul) Open your eyes up (Rise above yourself and take control) And you can rise above (You need to love) Yourself (To release yourself and rise above it all) And you can rise above (I will be there) Open your eyes up (You were never alone) And you can rise above (Inside your dreams) Yourself (I've been watching and waiting) And you can rise above Open your eyes to love And you can rise above Yourself And every heart that bleeds Will color your world red And the sorrow in the night Will be the blue you cannot shed And your strength will be a vision Beyond visibility And the gift you have before you Will give you new eyes to see
