Walk into the darkness with me
But notice what you see is darkness;
Would it be the same if you just closed your eyes?
Maybe that’s just what you’re doing

(refrain)
Tell me exactly what you want to say
Despite what you are thinking of

(chorus)
Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
Rise above

See no shadows, is it just the same
If you looked upon yours, you would go insane
The play goes on, you can contribute a verse
Even your version couldn’t make it worse

(refrain)
Tell me exactly what you want to say
And have you siezed the day

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
Rise above the clouds high up in the sky
Rise above the image in your mind
In your mind
Despite what you are thinking of
What you might be thinking of’
Don’t you think we can do it?
Maybe we can rise above
Don’t you think we can do it?
Maybe we can rise above

Trying to resolve an ongoing battle
But notice that you are my intention
Trying to see things in a different light
Bright enough to catch your attention

(refrain)
Tell me exactly what you want to say
Despite what you are thinking of

(repeat chorus)
