I used to think you could save me But now I know that was crazy Maybe I just don't need saving Maybe I don't need your saving Maybe babe, you should just save it You only gave me love to take it all, take it all You only raised me up to watch me fall But I rise, I rise from the smoke I don't fall, I don't fall, I float I rise, rise up on my own Higher and higher I go I'm fine I'm doing fine on my own I'm riding high on my own I rise, rise up from the smoke I don't fall, I don't fall, I float I rise I rise I used to think that you made me Like I was something you created But now that memory's faded Your melody isn't worth chasing Are you drowning now or are you waving? Are you waving? You only gave me love to take it all, take it all You only raised me up to watch me fall But I rise, I rise from the smoke I don't fall, I don't fall, I float I rise, rise up on my own Higher and higher I go I'm fine I'm doing fine on my own I'm riding high on my own I rise, rise up from the smoke I don't fall, I don't fall, I float I rise I rise I am the tide Coming to eat you alive Sink you like ships in the night High tide Rising like gulls taking flight A siren that calls for your life I am the tide Coming to eat you alive Sink you like ships in the night High tide Rising like gulls taking flight A siren that calls for your life I rise, I rise from the smoke I don't fall, I don't fall, I float I rise, rise up on my own Higher and higher I go I'm fine I'm doing fine on my own I'm riding high on my own I rise, rise up from the smoke I don't fall, I don't fall, I float I rise, rise I rise I am the tide Rising I rise
