Well I woke up one morning and realized
There was nowhere to go
And the plans we made and
Dreamed of long ago

Were forgotten for the time
Swallowed up by the moon
I said no, no, no, no
It’s time to break out soon

While my friends were going sideways
I fell into this and that
And I dragged and moaned on the telephone
‘Cause I wanted something back

And I worked hard just to get somewhere
Sold my soul for a stone and then
I got burned and learned now
I’m not going back again

Oh but you, you can rise above
When you find your special love

Now you say love and I don’t mind
If I only had the time
But the days don’t last
And I’m caught up in my past

So find your own special meaning
With your own point of view
‘Cause nobody else is
Going to give that to you

Oh but you, you can rise above
When you find your special love

Oh but you, you can rise above
When you find your special love
