Adema - Rise Above lyrics

Rise Above

The last year and a half I

Walked out on familiar faces

Had to cut some losses

Learned to never be complacent

I searched for some answers

But the bottle couldn't show them

Which took me to some places

I never should have been

I found that true friends may be

The ones you rarely hear from

'Cause many said they'd be here

But now they can't be found

Learning sometimes means soul searching

There are no words to calm that kind of hurting

I never considered myself fortunate

Bowing to circumstance

Searching where to place the blame

Selling myself short

Looked right in the mirror

Faced down all my fears

I will rise above

The endless thoughts that fed

The sleepless nights repeating

Almost let me give up the only hope I ever had

Trusting too swiftly can end up being costly

Because many people fooled me

Maybe I just wanted to believe

I never considered myself fortunate

Bowing to circumstance

Searching where to place the blame

Selling myself short

Looked right in the mirror

Faced down all my fears

I will rise above

The world can be so cold

When you step into the unknown

The streets all look familiar

That just multiplies the danger

There is one thing that's for certain

There's no one you can count on

The change occurs inside you

Got to make your own way
