Rise Lyrics - Building 429

What's a boy supposed to see 

When he's staring in the mirror at 13 

Where's the man that he wants to be 

He must be hiding behind the lies that he's too weak

I was there when they pushed you down 

Wiped the blood from your knees when you got up off the ground 

No one ever knew you the way I did 

They never saw the man you'd be 

When they laughed at the awkward kid 

No on else believed that you could fly 

They couldn't see the man you'd be 

But it's wonderful to watch you rise 

What could make a child a man (help him understand) 

When he's looking at the scars that mar his gentle hands 

Where's the mercy that he needs 

It must be hiding behind the pain that they can't speak 

(It must be hiding behind the cut that makes them bleed) 

I was there when they pushed you down 

Wiped the blood from your knees when you got up off the ground 

I was there when they crowned you king 

Wiped the blood from your feet when you hung from the tree

No one ever knew you the way I did 

They never saw you in the child 

As they laughed at his awkwardness 

No one else believed that you could fly 

They couldn't see the man you'd be 

But it's wonderful to watch you rise
