Neal Avron - Rise Above It lyrics

Another couple kids with their heads on top Just another stranger just another plot Another track home where the city streets stop Just another kid with another bored cop Just another lemon into lemonade job Just another rust and dust facade Just another key stuck broken in the lock Just another scarecrow choking on a cough Oh come on! It all feels so typical Guess I'm looking for a miracle Rise above it Rise above it Don't care what they're telling me We can be what we want to be Rise above it Rise above it Listen up loud, listen up, listen here Just because you're running Doesn't mean that you're scared Just because it's law don't mean it is fair Never let another tell your soul what to fear Here we go again, give it one more try Don't believe the system's on your side Just another lover turned enemy fight Just another blood and nicotine sky Oh come on! It feels so typical Guess I'm looking for a miracle Rise above it Rise above it I get so sick of it It feels so counterfeit I rise above it Rise above it Hear our voices rise Hear our battle cry We've been under the curse With our arms raised high Hear us sing tonight Like the last night on earth We will rise like the tide Like dead men Coming back to life We are rising Rising Turn it up now, listen loud and clear Just because you're present doesn't mean that you're here Oh come on! It feels so typical Guess I'm looking for a miracle Rise above it rise above it The curse is spoken The system's broken Rise above it Rise above it Let's rise above it (Rise above it) We can rise above it (Rise above it) Let's rise above it, yeah Rise above it (Rise above it) Let's rise above it
