Born to an ungrateful world Never got what you deserved in this life Working for the kingdom come No place to call your home If you could leave the throne on high Coming down here to live and die Then if nothing else, Lord surely I can Rise above Rise above Rise above You help me rise above it all I know all about your pain So why do I still complain about this life As if anything I might have felt You didn't feel yourself
If you could leave the throne on high Coming down here to live and die Then if nothing else, Lord surely I can Rise above Rise above Rise above You help me rise above The here and now for what's to come If you could leave the throne on high Coming down here to live and die Then if nothing else, Lord surely I can Rise above Rise above Rise above Rise above Rise above You help me rise above it all
