G                              Bm
You can stand beside the madness like a falling piece
        C                            G
You can hold onto the sadness like a souvenir
           F                   C
or you can close your eyes and see your life
         G
Like the air
        G                               Bm
You can tap into the strength you never knew you had
        C                                 G
You can breathe into your faith no matter where you're at
     F                   C
Just close your eyes and change your life
         G
Like the air
      
Like the air you can
G
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
        G
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
       G
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
            G
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
        G
you can rise!
                     G
Like the air you can rise!

    G                                    Bm
The earth can pull you down with all its gravity
        C                                  G
And the measure of your worth is sometimes hard to see
   F                      C
So just hold on, when the night is done
         G
Like the sun
      
Like the air you can
G
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
        G
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
       G
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
            G
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
        G
you can rise!
                     G
Like the air you can rise!

F                  C                      G
 So even when your bones feel like weights
           
And it's hard to lift the smile on your perfect face
F              C
 You can still find a peaceful place
G                            D
Close your eyes until you're floating up in outer space
F
 It'll be alright, they're just jealous of your highs
C
So they can knock you down, but
      
Like the air you can
G
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
        G
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
       G
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
            G
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
        G
you can rise!
                     G
Like the air you can rise!
