You say I shouldn't wait around
And you're impossible to pin down
Well I just don't care
I've had my share of different guys
And they don't have your mischievous hazel eyes
And you're the perfect size

Maybe someday you will rise
Rise up to everyone's surprise
Rise up above your fear
And I will be right here

Is love a luxury that you can't afford
When you stay up until dawn to learn your chords
Well so do I

Maybe someday you will rise
Rise up to everyone's surprise
Rise up above your fear
I will be right here

You don't have to choose which part of your life to lose
You can have it all right now, if you're not afraid
You'll go far, but right now here you are
Won't you have some faith
In all of those dues you've paid

Oh, Rise, Rise, Rise up to your own surprise,
Rise up above your fear
And I will be right here

Rise, Rise, Rise up to your own surprise
Rise up and fly away
That'll be a gorgeous day
