Oh, the day has let you down
Your smile is just a frown
Making your way through the rain
No one listens to your song
Though it seemed so strong
You might feel that all is in vain
Adversity takes over
You seem to be caught short
You stand before a wall, feeling rather small
But I know in time we rise and fall
What will the people say
I wish they moved away
Feel like being on my own
An innocent remark you made
took away all my faith
But all I did was look away
At times I feel so great
I know I got it made
Then you stand before a wall, feeling rather small
But I know in time we rise and fall
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Yes I know we rise and,
Oh I know we rise and fall,
and rise and fall and rise
Sometimes you take a chance
Ask the world for a dance
But you just can’t find the groove
Restless as a little girl
Life seems to twist and turn
But now I know what can be found
With what I know right now
Who what where and how
I stand before a wall, I’m twenty feet tall
I know in time we rise and fall
Yes I know we rise and fall,
Oh I know we rise and fall
Yes I know we rise and fall
Yes I know we rise and,
Oh I know we rise and fall,
and rise and fall and rise
