lyrics

Well you're feeling insignificant, and you seem so small
And some people seem to think you don't belong at all
Just imagine that you're weightless, put your mind at ease
And get set to catch the currents of the springtime breeze

And you'll rise above, and you will rise above
When you're buffetted around by the push and shove
Well it's just another challenge you can rise above. Yeah!

Well you dove into the water, tried to swim but instead
Now you realise you've gotten in over your head
Well just kick towards the surface, try to stay afloat
Coz I'm coming out to get you in my rescue boat

And we will rise above, and we will rise above
When we're buffetted around by the push and shove
Well it's just another challenge you can rise above.

So - lose that excess baggage, silence all invective
Soar across the dangers as you take a stand corrective
The snapping at your ankles will be rendered ineffective
With some elevation and a new perspective

When you can't see your way forward, it's just fog and mist
And that shiny bright tomorrow doesn't yet exist
Never mind you've an agenda full of endless trials
Let's go climb the nearest mountain, you can see for miles!

And we can rise above, and you can rise above
When you're buffetted around by the push and shove
Well it's just another challenge, it's just another challenge
We can rise above, and you can rise above
When we're buffetted around by the push and shove
Well it's just another challenge you can rise above.
