[Intro]
Why hold on to the pain,
Of what you cannot change?

[Verse 1]
You can change the way you see the world,
Let a different truth be heard.
Listen to the voices you don’t know,
Let some kindness guide the words you choose.

[Pre-Chorus]
Take the time to listen,
Take the time to understand.
Every change begins with choices,
With the courage to take a stand.

[Chorus]
What do I know? Who am I to say?
Some things won’t change, come what may.
But I can choose the road ahead,
I’ll spread my wings and rise again!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
You can change the work you choose to do,
Put your hope in what your hands can prove.
Every honest step can light the way,
Build tomorrow from the work you do today.

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing good just falls out of the sky,
Character is built one choice at a time.

[Chorus]
What do I know? Who am I to say?
Some things won’t change, come what may.
But I can choose the road ahead,
I’ll spread my wings and rise again!

[Harmonica and Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You can change the way you answer pain,
Before a single word becomes a flame.
Ask if what you say will help things heal,
Or only leave another wound to feel.

[Bridge]
I can’t move the mountains,
I can’t hold the rain.
But I can choose what I carry,
Through another day.
And when the world won’t bend,
To everything I’ve planned,
I’ll lift my eyes toward the sky,
And find the strength to stand!

[Final Chorus]
What do I know? Who am I to say?
Some things won’t change, come what may.
But I can choose the road ahead,
I’ll spread my wings and rise again!
Rise again!
Rise again!
I’ll spread my wings and rise again!

[Outro]
If it’s beyond the power of my hands,
I’ll meet it with the love I understand.
Not every battle’s mine to win,
I’ll learn, I’ll love, I’ll rise again.
