Intro

You keep coming up

With new ways to say goodbye

Like our love's a cage

That will not let you fly

You always know just what to say

And maybe that's why

You keep coming up

With new words to make me cry

You keep coming up

With new ways to let me down

You say it's a shame

I'll always wear a frown

You say I can't be happy

Always feeling like a clown

But I'll play the fool

As long as you can hang around

I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise

I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine

I'll get by, I'll get by

I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies

And I'll keep coming up

In all the shadows of your mind

A not so distant memory

From another time

Forever the thorn in your side

I'll be the echo

That you can never find

I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise

I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine

I'll get by, I'll get by

I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies

And you'll never find

Another way to say goodbye

I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
