Rise Above Lyrics by CreatiVets

Veterans Day Country

2021

[Verse 1]
Some people have a picture perfect
Childhood with a house up on a hill
With a mom and dad to lean on when they need 'em
And they know they always will
But someone people have two stepdads
They don't talk to by the time they turn fourteen
So they go lookin' for a family
Just to find out what a family really means

[Chorus]
You don't get to choose your flesh and blood
How you were raised or where you're from
Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair
So you fold your hands to the man upstairs
Whеn the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much
You can choosе to let it break you down
Or fight to turn your life around
And find the strength inside to rise above

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, you turn to Uncle Sam
To carve your path in a pair of combat boots
With a band of brand new brothers
Holdin' M4s for the old red, white, and blue
Well, sometimes, you're on a rooftop post
Where you see the world explode before your eyes
When you hear a voice cut through the darkness
Don't you waste it if you make it out alive

[Chorus]
You don't get to choose your flesh and blood
How you were raised or where you're from
Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair
So you fold your hands to the man upstairs
When the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much
You can choose to let it break you down
Or fight to turn your life around
And find the strength inside to rise above

[Chorus]
You don't get to choose your flesh and blood
How you were raised or where you're from
Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair
So you fold your hands to the man upstairs
When the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much
You can choose to let it break you down
Or fight to turn your life around
And find the strength inside to rise above
And find the strength inside to rise above
And find the strength inside to rise above
