~When You Rise Above It All~
by: O' Puppy
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can
Just don't be discouraged
Inside you have a friend
~*~
It's what makes you who you are
And gets you through every day
When darkness shows its face
To take your sunshine away
~*~
It's the hand that reaches out
In times you stumble and fall
It's the strength that carries you
When you rise above it all
~*~
Life can be so confusing
And the weight too much to bear
It's so easy to give up
If you lose the faith to care
~*~
Like a bird caught in a storm
With its wings about to give
Against all odds it survives
Because of its will to live
~*~
You must reach within yourself
And always answer the call
For miracles can happen
When you rise above it all
~*~
In a world full of people
With so much suffering and pain
There's a heart always hurting
And an eye full of rain
~*~
For as good as some things are
Sometimes things are just as bad
To each face that is happy
Somewhere is a face that is sad
~*~
But it's a chance awaiting
If you'll just dare to be tall
You can be someone's rainbow
When you rise above it all
~*~
So the next time you go crazy
As it all comes crashing down
Don't get yourself so unraveled
Or lose that smile to a frown
~*~
Just look for a way to touch
In a way that touches you
And add something beautiful
To everything you do
~*~
Keep your true colors shining
Out beyond the nearest wall
Nothing is impossible
When you rise above it all
