lyrics

Catch a wind before it dies away
Or leave it be to try another day
See it in a photograph, an honest smile; the way you laughed before
You lost your way

Be someone else and live as un-aware
As underneath, that life was never there
The dark of night reveals a door, A window; A life you sought to store away
But never change
Run away
It's not too late
To rise, High, Again

Then i see you becoming,
Rising High again
Burning out and succumbing
To rise again,
one day

Forget the things that played upon your mind
In summer years, a youth still there inside
A ray of light will shine on you, A window; a song that you once knew before
You lost you way

Forced into a cast to serve away
To time and tide you stand and fade to grey
Be the person they require, But carry on that hidden fire inside
But never fade
Burn away
It's not too late
To Rise High Again

Then i see you becoming,
Rising High again
Burning out and succumbing
To rise again, one day

Hold me now, for one last time
Turn around, you'll be just fine
Walk away, your head held high
Leave me now and Rise, High...
