Rise Above (feat. Craig Campbell)

Some people have a picture perfect

Childhood with a house up on a hill

With a mom and dad to lean on when they need 'em

And they know they always will

But someone people have two stepdads

They don't talk to by the time they turn fourteen

So they go lookin' for a family

Just to find out what a family really means

You don't get to choose your flesh and blood

How you were raised or where you're from

Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair

So you fold your hands to the man upstairs

When the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much

You can choose to let it break you down

Or fight to turn your life around

And find the strength inside to rise above

Sometimes, you turn to Uncle Sam

To carve your path in a pair of combat boots

With a band of brand new brothers

Holdin' M4s for the old red, white, and blue

Well, sometimes, you're on a rooftop post

Where you see the world explode before your eyes

When you hear a voice cut through the darkness

Don't you waste it if you make it out alive

You don't get to choose your flesh and blood

How you were raised or where you're from

Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair

So you fold your hands to the man upstairs

When the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much

You can choose to let it break you down

Or fight to turn your life around

And find the strength inside to rise above

You don't get to choose your flesh and blood

How you were raised or where you're from

Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair

So you fold your hands to the man upstairs

When the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much

You can choose to let it break you down

Or fight to turn your life around

And find the strength inside to rise above

And find the strength inside to rise above

And find the strength inside to rise above
