Rise Above by Shawn Smith

Rise Above

Lost my mind just the other day
found myself at the pearly gates
Hopped along from cloud to cloud
flying higher than it was aloud

And when out of my eyes what did I see
a big old bear coming straight at me
Shouting out at the top of his lungs
wake up boy you ain't nearly done

Living life is just begun
There's many a song yet to be sung
There's many a hug left to be given
There's many a sunrise to be risen

And alibis and hangers on
And telling lies just to get along
But don't neglect what you've been give
There's plenty of stories to be written

I fell to earth without a sound
put my feet back on the ground
Found the courage to sign the deal
found the truth in what is real

Living life is just begun
There's many a song yet to be sung
There's many a hug left to be given
There's many a sunrise to be risen

And alibis and hangers on
And telling lies just to get along
And don't neglect what you've been give
There's plenty of stories to be written

And oh this coming upon me nearly everyday and I didn't see it
And oh its coming upon me and going to steal me away

Living life is just begun
There's many a song yet to be sung
There's many a hug left to be given
There's many a sunrise to be risen

And alibis and hangers on
And telling lies just to get along
But don't neglect what you've been given
There's plenty of stories to be written

And wait you just got to say it
Be true to the song your Soul is singing

And fight for all that is right
Tell someone who cares
Keep fighting for air

And living life is just begun
There's many a song yet to be sung
There's many a hug left to be given
There's many a sunrise to be risen

And alibis and hangers on
And telling lies just to get along
But don't neglect what you've been given
There's plenty of stories to be written
