[00:11.000]This ain't a fairy-tale,
[00:14.000]there's no way to tip the scales
[00:17.000]for each win I seem to fail,
[00:19.000]that's the way it goes.
[00:22.000]Sometimes I ain't that tough,
[00:25.000]my best ain't good enough,
[00:28.000]when I try and shake it off,
[00:30.000]I hit that low.
[00:33.000]but the more that it hurts me,
[00:36.000]the more I keep on,
[00:39.000]i reach down inside me
[00:42.000]and know that i will over come.
[00:44.000]If i lose my strength,
[00:47.000]if I'm hanging by a thread,
[00:49.000]if I'm going under,
[00:53.000]I'll raise up.
[00:56.000]Just like a river flowing,
[00:59.000]I bend but never broken,
[01:02.000]in time ever cloud disappears like smoke,
[01:08.000]and when my edge is closer
[01:10.000]and I'm slowly going over those things
[01:14.000]won't get me down
[01:15.000]when I'm up against the ropes.
[01:19.000]the more that you stop me,
[01:21.000]the faster i run,
[01:24.000]it's never that easy
[01:26.000]but i know that will overcome.
[01:29.000]If i fall from grace,
[01:32.000]if I'm feeling out of place,
[01:34.000]when we must just go on together.
[01:38.000]I raise up
[01:40.000]I raise up, up, up, up, up.
