Every day, every day, when I awake
I put on my brave face, the kind that says I’m okay
Keep my head held high
I look so tough, but I want to cry

Every time, every time, it comes again
When everything comes crashing down
You have to build it up again
Keeps me from dreaming
Becomes a cage that I now live in

So I, I will, and I will rise and find the light, inside
And I will rise above, all my pain and sorrows
Break down those walls, made out of fear, so I can believe
 That I will be free

Every day, every day, I hope and pray
That when she wakes up, she’ll say
I feel good today
And I know time won’t await
But I gotta enjoy what we have, before it’s too late

So I, I will, and I will rise and find the light, inside
And I will rise above, all my pain and sorrows
Break down those walls, made out of fear, so I can believe
 That I will be free

I can’t wait for the world to change, gotta find my way
And I’m not there, but I try, I’ll try

So I, I will, I will rise and find the light, inside
And I will rise above, all my pain and sorrows
To a better place, far away
When I’m not afraid of tomorrow

Break down those walls, made out of fear, so I can believe
That I will be free

Gotta break down those walls, made out of fear, so I can believe
That I will be free

I gotta break down those walls, made out of fear, so I can believe
That I will be free
