Verse 1:
Ever been turned upside down?
Ever felt like you’re underground?
Ever felt so unsure,
That you don’t know what to expect?
--
Verse 2:
Ever been turned inside out?
Ever felt so much doubt?
Didn’t know what it's all about,
What comes next?
--
Bridge 1:
So grab my hand, my friend we’ll walk the way,
Raise your voice it’s the dawn of a brand new day
---
Chorus:
So much as changed, but this is still the same
The happiest time is after the pain,
You’ve fought the good fight
Cause you burn with an inner flame
--
See a new day, through your tired eyes
After the storm come the bluest skies
It’s time to rise, oh it's time to rise!
--
Verse 3:
Ever fall at the side of the road
Ever struggle underneath the load
Look at life like you cant crack the code
The road ahead is dark

Verse 4:
Ever felt that you’re just too small
Holding on tight, hoping not to fall
Ever wonder what’s the point of it all,
Look inside and find that spark,
--
Bridge 2:
And let it glow, my friend, and show the way,
Raise your voice it’s the dawn of a brand new day,
--
Chorus:
So much as changed, but this is still the same
The happiest time is after the pain,
You’ve fought the good fight
Cause you burn with an inner flame
--
See a new day, through your tired eyes
After the storm come the bluest skies
It’s time to rise, oh it's time to rise!

Interlude 1:
Looking ahead we'll keep marching on
Facing what comes with courage and calm
Take chizuk and hope hold tight to the chain

Interlude 2:
The pages are turning in the book above
The one in control is writing with love
Look to heaven and give thanks to his name.
--
Chorus:
So much as changed, but this is still the same
The happiest time is after the pain,
You’ve fought the good fight
Cause you burn with an inner flame
--
It’s a new day, through your open eyes
After the storm came the bluest skies
Let us rise, oh it's time to rise!
