You keep coming up with new ways to say goodbyeLike our love’s a cage that will not let you flyYou always know just what to say and maybe that’s whyYou keep coming up with new ways to say goodbyeYou keep coming up with new ways to let me downYou say it’s a shame I always wear a frownYou say I can’t be happy, always feeling like a clownBut I’ll play the fool as long as you can hang aroundI’m gonna riseI’m gonna riseI’m gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mineI’ll get byI’ll get byI’m gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skyAnd I’ll keep coming up in all the shadows of your mindA not so distant memory from another timeForever the thorn in your sideI’ll be the echo that you can never findI’m gonna riseI’m gonna riseI’m gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mineI’ll get byI’ll get byI’m gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skyAnd you’ll never find another way to say goodbyeI’m gonna riseI’m gonna riseI’m gonna riseI’m gonna riseI’m gonna riseI’m gonna rise
