My Rise My Fall Lyrics

I stood tall, and I conquered the flames

Dug my feet into the earth and brushed the waters away

And I've got a tailwind blowing through my veins

And I've got a tale to tell of how I overcame it

You see I feel alright face down in the dirt

Really finding out what it means to immerse

Growing the roots of some kind of worth

Talking 'bout a stairway to heaven in reverse

If I rise, I rise, I fall

If I rise, I rise, I fall

It's my rise, my rise, my fall

Once my feet leave the ground I'm nothing at all

Nothing at all, nothing at all

Looking down at the Grand Canyon below

Feeling the shape of that place carve its way into my soul

And I'm making my way down there slow

You know the quicker you move the less you'll know

Looking down the street at all the people walking by

While my jealous mind tries to rip me open from inside

Well there's a new kind of peace for the steadfast kind

See them angels flying over, let them leave me behind

If I rise, I rise, I fall

If I rise, I rise, I fall

It's my rise, my rise, my fall

Once my feet leave the ground I'm nothing at all

Nothing at all, nothing at all

I was once flying over the great Atlantic

When the guy in the seat next to me, he started to panic

Sitting there I wasn't able to understand it

But now I see why he was begging the pilot to land it

If I rise, I rise, I fall

If I rise, I rise, I fall

It's my rise, my rise, my fall

Once my feet leave the ground I'm nothing at all

Once my feet leave the ground I'm nothing at all
