The Rising

Don't you give up on your dreams

just because a little rain came over night

It's how reality must sometimes look away

from those ideas that are too bright

Don't you lose another vision or desire,

go ahead turn the other cheek

and make a promise not to hold against the world

any promises it can't keep

The weather can change you on the inside

Sometimes it hits you like a meteor shower

from a big blue sky

and you go too many times underwater

looking for something on fire

Don't you throw it all away

just because it didn't turn out exactly right

Remember, things are hardly ever quite as bad as they appeared

in the first light

Don't you run another mile in your skin, settle down,

maybe get some sleep

and make a promise not to hold against the world

any promises it can't keep

The weather can change you on the inside

Sometimes it hits you like a meteor shower

from a big blue sky

Visions by the dozen, too many for anyone

It won't be long before the rising sun

It won't be long before the rising sun

It won't be long before the rising

And you go too many times underwater

looking for something on fire

Too many times underwater

looking for something on fire

Too many times underwater

 swimming away from any fire
