Rise Above Lyrics - Planets - Adema

The last year and a half I 

Walked out on familiar faces 

Had to cut some losses 

Learned to never be complacent 

I searched for some answers 

But the bottle couldn'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 

'Cause many said they'd be here 

But now they can't be found 

Learning sometimes means soul searching 

There are no words to calm that kind of hurting 

I never considered myself fortunate 

Bowing to circumstance 

Searching where to place the blame 

Selling myself short 

Looked right in the mirror 

Faced down all my fears, I will rise above 

The endless thoughts that fed 

The sleepless nights repeating 

Almost let me give up the only hope I ever had 

Trusting too swiftly can end up being costly 

Because many people fooled me 

Maybe I just wanted to believe 

Learning sometimes means soul searching 

There are no words to calm that kind of hurting 

I never considered myself fortunate 

Bowing to circumstance 

Searching where to place the blame 

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 

This multiplies the danger 

There is one thing that's for certain 

There's no one you can count on 

The change occurs inside you 

Got to make your own way 

I survived 

Faced down all my fears 

I will rise above 

Bowing to circumstance 

Searching where to place the blame 

Selling myself short 

Looked right in the mirror 

Faced down all my fears, I will rise above 

Bowing to circumstance 

(I never considered) 

Searching where to place the blame 

(Myself fortunate) 

Selling myself short 

(Rise above) 

Looked right in the mirror 

(I never considered) 

Faced down all my fears 

(Myself fortunate) 

I will rise above
