I was bound, was tired
Hadn't seen the light for so long
Thought I lost my fight
Couldn't find my way back home
And I felt the life slipping out of me
I was bound, and tired
Waiting for daylight (daylight, daylight, daylight)
Bang my head against the wall
Though I felt light headed, now I know I will not fall
I will rise above it all
Found what I was searching for
Though I felt light headed
I should have failed, and nailed the floor
Instead I rise above it all
Oh, oh, oh
Bang my head against the wall
Oh, oh, oh
Instead I rise above it all

When you think of giving up, just know
You might think you're dying but you won't
And you feel the life slipping out of you
But when you think of giving up, don't (oh)
Bang your head against the wall
You might feel light headed, but you won't fall, no, you won't fall
You will rise above it all
You'll find what you're searching for
You might feel light headed
You think you're gonna hit the floor
Instead you rise above it all
Oh, oh, oh
Bang your head against the wall
Oh, oh, oh
Instead you rise above it all

I have broken wings
I keep trying, keep trying
No I won't give up
On flying, on flying
Bang my head against the wall
Though I feel light headed, now I know I will not fall
I will rise above it all
Found what I was searching for
Though I felt light headed,
I should have failed, and nailed the floor
Instead I rise above it all
♪
Bang my head against the wall
Oh, oh, oh
Instead we rise above it all (above it all)
