Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lay your pretty head down on my shoulder
You don't have to worry anymore
This old world is cold and gettin' colder
And I know how to lock and bolt the door
[Verse 2]
I'm strong enough to hold you through the winter
Mean enough to stare your demons down
The hard times put the shine into the diamond
I won't let that keep us in the ground
[Chorus]
I'm a riser
I'm a get up off the ground, don't run and hider
Pushing comes to shovin'
Hey, I'm a fighter
When darkness comes to town, I'm a lighter
A get out aliver of the fire
Survivor
[Verse 3]
If we ain't got no money, I can make it
And I ain't afraid of working to the bone
When I don't know what I'm doin', I can fake it
I'll pray till Jesus rolls away the stone
[Chorus]
I'm a riser
I'm a get up off the ground, don't run and hider
Pushing comes to shovin'
Hey, I'm a fighter
When darkness comes to town, I'm a lighter
A get out aliver of the fire
Survivor
[Bridge]
I'm a trier
I'm a get down low so I can lift you higher
An army couldn't keep down my desire
Yeah
[Chorus]
I'm a riser
I'm a get up off the ground, don't run and hider
Hey, pushin' comes to shovin'
Baby, I'm a fighter
When darkness comes to town, I'm a lighter
A get out aliver of the fire
Survivor
[Outro]
I'm a riser
I'm a riser
I'm a riser
