I was bound, was tired Hadn't seen a light so long Thought I lost my fight Couldn't find my way back home And I felt the light stepping out of me I was bound, and tired Waiting for daylight (Daylight daylight, and I) Bang my head against the wall Though I felt light headed, now I know I will not fall I will rise above it all Found what I was searching for Though I felt light headed I should have failed, and nailed the floor Instead I rose above it all Oh, oh, oh, oh Bang my head against the wall Oh, oh, oh, oh Instead I rose above it all (Bang my head against the wall) When you think you're giving up, just know You might think you're dying but you won't And you feel the life stepping out of you But when you think of giving up, don't (Oh) Bang your head against the wall You may feel light headed, but you won't crawl, no, you won't fall You will rise above it all You'll find what you're searching for And you may feel light headed You think you're gonna hit the floor Instead you rise above it all Oh, oh, oh, oh Bang your head against the wall Oh, oh, oh, oh Instead you rise above it all (Bang my head against the wall) I have broken wings I keep trying, keep trying No I won't give up Oh I'm flying, oh I'm flying Bang my head against the wall Though I feel light headed, now I know I will not fall I will rise above it all Found what I was searching for Though I felt light headed, I should have failed, and nailed the floor Instead I rose above it all Oh, oh, oh, oh Bang my head against the wall Oh, oh, oh, oh Bang my head against the wall (Ooh) Bang my head against the wall (Ooh) Instead I rise above it all
