I know how it started the walls that we build to separate us Make it wider, stronger, til it's too tall for us to touch Heaviness is on me I don't see how we might be whole again We might be better off in the wake of a bitter end Oh I know I'm gonna rise again Set my sights on where I'm going And my goodbyes to where I've been Oh I know I'm gonna rise again Singing farewell king of the broken So long my friend We could always count on the same things The ups and the downs like time We crawl through the abyss then we came through the other side Heaviness is only temporary the daylight will soon break in The sunlight can change a heart in the wake of a bitter end. Oh I know I'm gonna rise again Set my sights on where I'm going And my goodbyes to where I've been Oh I know I'm gonna rise again Singing farewell king of the broken So long my friend I could see us moving on I can feel that coming on strong We'll never start all over like this and I still can't believe it Oh I know I'm gonna rise again Set my sights on where I'm going And my goodbyes to where I've been Oh I know I'm gonna rise again Singing farewell king of the broken So long my friend
