"Rise Above 2" Lyrics from Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark

When the ones who run the firehouse
are the ones who start the fire.
When the lawless make the laws
and every preacher is a liar.
And the ones that damn the innocent,
well they own the nightly news,
and front page.

an old man said to me,
"It's not who, but what you know"
and "knowledge isn't wisdom without control"
"Better still to be the changes that you want to see"
"They come slow"
I know

and you said rise above
open your eyes up
and you said rise above
but I can't,
I can't

for every heart that bleeds
will colour your world red
and the sorrow in the night
will be the blue you cannot shed
but your strength will be a vision,
beyond visibility
and the gift you have within
will give you new eyes to see

That you can rise above
swing through the skies above
and you shall rise above yourself

Know that I'll be watching
Know that I'll be waiting

Standing on the precipice
I can soar away from this

And you can rise above
(feel your soul)
Open your eyes up
(rise above yourself and take control)
and you can rise above
(you need to love)
yourself
(to release yourself and rise above it all)

And you can Rise Above
(I will be there)
Open your eyes up
(You were never alone)
and you can rise above
(inside your dreams)
yourself
(I've been watching and waiting)

And you can rise above
open your eyes to love
and you can rise above
yourself

and every heart that bleeds
will colour your world red
and the sorrow in the night
will be the blue you cannot shed
and your strength will be a vision,
beyond visibility
and the gift you have within you
will give you new eyes to see
