Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I know how it started the walls that we build to separate us
Make it wider, stronger, til it�??s too tall for us to touch
Heaviness is on me I don�??t see how we might be whole again
We might be better off in the wake of a bitter end
Oh I know I�??m gonna rise again
Set my sights on where I�??m going
And my goodbyes to where I've been
Oh I know I�??m gonna rise again
Singing farewell king of the broken
So long my friend
We could always count on the same things
The ups and the downs like time
We crawl through the abyss then we came through the other side
Heaviness is only temporary the daylight will soon break in
The sunlight can change a heart in the wake of a bitter end.
Oh I know I�??m gonna rise again
Set my sights on where I�??m going
And my goodbyes to where I've been
Oh I know I�??m gonna rise again
Singing farewell king of the broken
So long my friend
I could see us moving on I can feel that coming on strong
We�??ll never start all over like this and I still can�??t believe it
Oh I know I�??m gonna rise again
Set my sights on where I�??m going
And my goodbyes to where I've been
Oh I know I�??m gonna rise again
Singing farewell king of the broken
So long my friend
