[Intro] When the world starts to fade, When the dream you built Begins to slip away, Where can you turn for peace? [Verse] Every stumble, every slip, Feels like gravity’s got your grip. But I see sparks growing beneath your skin, That’s where the fight begins. [Pre-Chorus] So don’t let go, don’t close your eyes, There’s a hand right here — take it, look up and rise! [Chorus] I’ll lift you higher, higher than fear! When you fall, I’ll still be near. The weight of the world can’t break our song — We’ll keep climbing, keep holding on! [Verse] I was lost in the dark, no sign, no sound, Then your voice called to me, turned me back around. We found the strength we never knew, When courage came from me and you. [Pre-Chorus] So reach for me, the fall won’t win, The moment we trust, we begin again! [Chorus] I’ll lift you higher, higher than pain! We’ll dance in the fire, sing in the rain. The edge we feared is where we belong — ‘Cause together, we’re strong! [Bridge] When you can’t see the horizon — I’m standing by your side beside. Catching our breath — Before the tide. I’ll lift you higher, higher than fear! Through smoke and flame, I’ll keep you here. When the lights go out, we’ll still shine on — We’re not falling — (brief pause — piano sustain) We’re flying home! [Reprise] Higher! Lift me higher! Stronger! We’ll keep on! The world can try to pull us down — We rise, we rise, we rise!
