about

I wrote this song when I had a bad day. We all have those sometimes. Our strength is to try and see the big picture.

lyrics

When I’m down
When I’m blue
When they claim,
that's not true
I’ll recall
That I’m strong
I can tell
right from wrong

You got to rise above it
You got to let yourself shine
Oh no you won’t let nothin’ stop you
You know that soon you will be fine
You got to push through it all
You gotta keep standin’ tall
You can rise above it all the time

When I’m tired,
And I don’t belong
When I’m right,
And you’re wrong
I’ll find strength,
Patience pays
Oh God works
In mysterious ways

You got to rise above it…

So rise up
Dry your tears
Though it may not seem like much
We all share the same fears

You got to rise above it...
