Life can be so hard to understand,
Things don't always go the way we plan
Right out of the blue can come a change
And that old sunny sky just turns to rain
But we can rise above it
Long as we got love,
Baby, we can rise above it
That's what we're made of
Hand in hand, side by side,
Baby, don't you know that you and I,
Can rise, rise above it
This old world don't give no guarantees
Everyday is another mystery
Just when we think we're on solid ground,
Around the bend come a flood to pull us down
But we can rise above it
Long as we got love,
Baby, we can rise above it
That's what we're made of
Hand in hand, side by side,
Baby, don't you know that you and I,
Can rise, rise above it
Honey, I know we've had our share of trouble,
But the good Lord don't send nothin' we can't handle
We can rise above it
Long as we got love,
Baby, we can rise above it
That's what we're made of
Hand in hand, side by side,
Baby, don't you know that you and I,
Can rise, rise above it
Rise, rise above it
Rise above it
Rise above it
We can rise above it
