Born to an ungrateful world
Never got what you deserved in this life
Working for the kingdom come
No place to call your home
If you could leave the throne on high
Coming down here to live and die
Then if nothing else, Lord surely I can
Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
You help me rise above it all
I know all about your pain
So why do I still complain about this life
As if anything I might have felt
You didn't feel yourself
If you could leave the throne on high
Coming down here to live and die
Then if nothing else, Lord surely I can
Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
You help me rise above
The here and now for what's to come
If you could leave the throne on high
Coming down here to live and die
Then if nothing else, Lord surely I can
Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
You help me rise above it all
