RISE
Gabrielle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that it's over
But I can't believe we're through
They say that time is a healer
And I'm better without you
It's gonna take time, I know
But I'll get over over you

Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen them fall apart
Now I'm ready to rise again
Just look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
I'm building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again

Caught up in my thinking, yeah
Like a prisoner in my mind
You pose so many questions
But the truth was hard to find
I better think twice, I know
That I'll get over you

Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen them fall apart
Now I'm ready to rise again
Just look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
I'm building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again

Much time has passed between us
Do you still think of me at all
My world of broken promises
You won't catch me when I fall

Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen them fall apart
Now I'm ready to rise again
Just look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
I'm building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again

Look at my life
Yes, I'm gonna rise
Gonna make it alright
I'm gonna be who I wanna be, yeah baby




I'm gonna make it alright
I'm gonna make it alright

This brings back memories of my childhood when my mum used to play this cassette in the car all the time.
I loved hearing this music so much, and at 18 years old, I STILL think Gabrielle is amazing. <3
