The last year and a half now
walked out on familiar faces
had to cut some loses
learn to never be complacent
I searched for some answers
but the bottle coulnd't show them
which took me to some places
I never should have been
I found that true friends may be
the ones you rarely hear from
cuz many said theyd be here
but know they cant be found
learning sometimes being sould searching
there are no words to combat that kind of hurting

I never consider myself fortunate
battling the circumstance
searching where from place to place
selling myself short
looked right in the mirror
faced down all my fears
I WILL RISE ABOVE

the endless thouhts have fed thy
sleepless night repeated
almost made me give up
the only hope i ever had
trusting to swiftly
can end up being costly
cuz many people fool me
maybe I just wanted to believe
learning sometimes being soul seacrhing
there are no words to combat that kind of hurting

I never consider myself fortunate
battling the circumstance
searching where from place to place
selling myself short
looked right in the mirror
faced down all my fears
I WILL RISE ABOVE

the world can be so cold
when you step into the unknown
the streets all look familiar
which multiplies the danger
cuz nothing is for certain
when there no one you can count one
the changing curse inside you
gotta make youre own way

I survived
faced down all my fears
I WILL RISE ABOVE

battling the circumstance
searching where to place the blame
selling myself short
looked right in the mirror
faced down all my fears
I WILL RISE ABOVE

battling the cirmustance (I never consider)
seacrhing where to place the blame (myself fortunate)
selling my self short (I will rise above)
I looked rigth in the mirror (I never consider)
faced down all my fears (myself fortunate)
I WILL RISE ABOVE
