[Verse 1] Rain taps on the glass Grey spread on my notes Page one feels heavy But I keep my focus close Steam from a paper cup Cold room, warm hands I miss a lot of things Still I make my stand [Pre-Chorus] Line by line I climb back in Slow and steady Let the day begin [Chorus] I rise on rainy afternoons I rise, I rise I keep going, keep going Till the clouds move by I rise on rainy afternoons I rise, I rise One more page, one more try And I’m still alive [Verse 2] The answers don’t come fast They hide in the noise My doubt talks loud sometimes But I don’t lose my voice Pencil on the margin Circles round my name Every little paragraph Pulls me back again [Pre-Chorus] Line by line I climb back in Slow and steady Let the day begin [Chorus] I rise on rainy afternoons I rise, I rise I keep going, keep going Till the clouds move by I rise on rainy afternoons I rise, I rise One more page, one more try And I’m still alive [Bridge] If I fall behind I’ll learn the way No storm can make me Throw this pen away [Final Chorus] I rise on rainy afternoons I rise, I rise I keep going, keep going Till the clouds move by I rise on rainy afternoons I rise, I rise One more page, one more try And I’m still alive
