rise

Melissa Etheridge

There s a raven outside my window
Trying hard to fly against the wind
And there s a voice deep down inside me
Sayin let it go and let it in

You re gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You re gonna taste the dirt sometimes
Then you re gonna rise

There s a shelf inside my house
Where the ashes of the anger hide
And there s a voice deep down inside me
Says it s time to change the story of my pride

You re gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You re gonna taste the dirt sometimes
Then you re gonna rise, gonna rise

Why is it so damn easy
To make it so damn hard?
There s a hope I dare not speak
Frustrating, most people find
You don t need to change to set me free
No, cause I am always free to change my mind

Gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You re gonna taste the dirt sometimes
You re gonna really hurt sometimes
You re gonna feel just like you re dying
Then you re gonna rise
You re gonna rise
You re gonna rise
Rise up
You re gonna rise
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Come on and rise up
Rise up
