[Verse 1]
It's time to make a difference
It's time to make a stand
It's time to come together
Time to lend a hand

[Verse 2]
Hey there, you there
Standing in the back there I'm talking to me and you
You gotta take a chance to dance the dance
'Cause some dreams still come true

[Chorus]
You gotta rise above it
Sometimes you hate it
Sometimes you love it
You gotta rise up above it all

[Verse 3]
All it takes is a compassionate soul
To change the life of someone you don't know
To take a dark heart and lead it to the light
Show 'em that it'll be alright if

[Chorus]
They can rise above it
Sometimes you hate it
Sometimes you love it
You gotta rise up above it all
[Verse 4]
This old world keeps turning
You get crushed beneath the wheel
We all got broken lives
But broken lives can heal

[Verse 5]
You may fly and you may stall
You may run and you may crawl
But I'll help you pick up the pieces when you fall
And we'll rise above it all

[Chorus]
You gotta rise above it
Sometimes you hate it
Sometimes you love it
You gotta rise up above it all

You gotta rise above it
Sometimes you hate it
Sometimes you love it
You gotta rise up above it all
