Lyrics

Rise to the Test

I can see you're on your heels
Yes, I know just how it feels
I know this doesn't seem real
Is it fiction or fact?

Beside you is your family
Beside you are your friends
The battle soon will begin
Just know I've got your back

You will rise to start the healing
Rise with every breath
You will rise, just keep believing
And you will rise to the test

Like a punch right to the gut
God knows you've had enough
No question this will be rough
But I know you'll make it through

I can feel the fire from your heart
I can see you're ready to start
This won't tear us apart
A wall of angels stands behind you

You will rise to start the healing
Rise with every breath
You will rise, just keep believing
And you will rise to the test ... you will rise

Rise above the darkness that would steal your life away
Rise to the occasion each and every single day
Rise up to get stronger every baby step you take
You will rise up to do battle every moment you're awake
You will rise .... you will rise

You will rise to start the healing
Rise with every breath
You will rise, just keep believing
And you will rise to the test

You will rise to start the healing
Rise with every breath
You will rise, just keep believing
And you will rise to the test

Rise, rise to the test
You will rise, rise to the test
