Rise Above Lyrics

How many times did they push me down,

Laughing at me like I was just a clown.

You don't see it, but it made me strong,

Every fall gave me a reason to move along.

You think you know me, but you don't know a thing,

I'm stronger than the hate, stronger than the sting.

So laugh louder, it makes me shine,

Your fake smiles can't break my line.

I'll show the world who I truly am,

Leaving you in the dust, I don't give a damn.

Your words are knives that cut so deep,

But my heart's made of steel, it won't weep.

Every insult is a step to my victory,

You'll regret making me your misery.

You think you know me, but you don't know a thing,

I'm stronger than the hate, stronger than the sting.

So laugh louder, it makes me shine,

Your fake smiles can't break my line.

I'll show the world who I truly am,

Leaving you in the dust, I don't give a damn.

I don't need you, don't need your validation,

My strength comes from my determination.

Time will pass and you will see,

Your disdain only made me free.

So laugh louder, it makes me shine,

Your fake smiles can't break my line.

I'll show the world who I truly am,

Leaving you in the dust, I don't give a damn.

Now I'm free, there's no more pain,

You're left behind, I broke the chain.

My rage turned into something grand,

And now, I'm the one who took a stand.
