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.
