I've been reaching for the stars
I've been stretching out so far
Am I getting any closer
Than I've ever been before?
I was lying in the gutter
I was crawling in the street
Now the servants are all sitting
In the most distinguished seats
So rise, rise
Like a star, you will rise
I'm rebuilding this house
That was taken by the waves
Oh, this time, I'll make a mansion
Oh, this time, I'm not afraid
I was lying in the gutter
And I was crawling in the street
I was looking for an answer
Well, the answer, it found me
So rise, rise
Like a star, you will rise
Rise, rise
Like a star, you will rise
Well, strengthen my ankles
It's time to walk
Rise up, rise up
My heart's unblocked
And I have been hiding for much too long
It's time
Rise, rise
Like a star, you will rise
Rise, rise
Like a star, you will rise
Rise, rise
Like a star, you will rise
Rise, rise
Like a star, you will rise
Rise, rise
Like a star, you will rise
