Rise Above It - Switchfoot, Jon Foreman, Chad Butler

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
