I used to think you could save me But now I know that was crazy Maybe I just don’t need saving Maybe I don’t need your saving Maybe babe you should just save it You only gave me love to take it all You only raised me up to watch me fall But I rise I rise from the smoke I don’t fall, I don’t fall I float I rise Rise up on my own Higher and higher I go Im fine I’m doing fine on my own I’m riding high on my own I rise
Rise up from the smoke I don’t fall, I don’t fall I float I rise I used to think that you made me Like I was something you created But now that memory’s faded Your melody isn’t worth chasing Are you drowning now or are you waving? Are you waving? I am the tide Coming to eat you alive Sink you like the ships in the night High tide Rising like gulls taking flight A siren that calls for your life I am the tide Rising
