about

This one stays pretty true to the original version off of the Nettwerk release Dirty Mind, with a few key lyric changes. See if you can spot them! ~ Sara

lyrics

You say I shouldn’t wait around
And you’re impossible to pin down
Well I just don’t care
See I’ve had my share of different guys
And they don’t have your mischievous shining 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’ve made your plans and know what lies in store
Well no one knows
Maybe someday you will rise
Rise up to everyone’s surprise
Rise up above your fear
And I will be right here

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

So come on rise, rise, rise up to your own surprise
Rise up above your fear
And I will be right here

Come on rise, rise, rise up to your own surprise
Rise up and fly away
That’ll be a gorgeous day
