Rise Up/Fall Down

You’ve listened to them all
And you’ve followed every rule
But in life, no body wins (my dear)
Every story is lost
In so many other stories
Every song has flown
Away in the wind

Where can you begin
If at the beginning,
Starts the end?
Strength is measured
In so, so many ways
But nothing is stronger, my friend
Than dreams gone wrong

Rise up, rise up
Rise up with the sun
Fall down, fall down
Fall down with the sun

If the whole wide world
Expects nothing good from you
Throw everything back at them
But the Lord above
Wants nothing but you
So you give it back to Him

All diamonds, all the stars around you
Find Dreams from dreams from dreams undone
Fleeing unhappiness
When all the rules seem to lie
And gone is all mystery
And you just want sit and cry
Hold on to your dreams forever
Or they will die

  1. i adjusted it a bit to be clearer. from "The Lord above wants nothing from you" to "The Lord above wants nothing but you."

    Do you have any adjustments to add? I'm open to anything.

  2. hmm yes i think thats a good change, there is alot in this that i like. maybe the line " i will never care again..."? seems not to fit, not sure about it,maybe "if the whole wide world chooses everyone else then ill never raise my hand again?...not sure, the rest is really nice, all the other veres i really like and i like the last who lines of this aswell "the Lord above want nothing from you.....etc to the end.
