Aryeh Kunstler - Rise Again Lyrics

I've been to the bottom, I've fallen apart
Drifted out in the ocean with a broken heart
I've been smashed into pieces, question what for
Put myself back together, only to shatter once more

How do I keep on going? How do I keep my head up high
When the wind keeps on blowing, like a cold winter night
Everyone falls, maybe seven times or more
But hitting the floor ain't the worst thing in the world

You've gotta lift yourself up and push yourself through
Like a phoenix from the ashes, so can you
Life is a mountain, a climb that we take
One day we're rising, another we're fading

Back to the bottom, the broken below
But the phoenix inside rises up through the smoke
Cause everyone falls, maybe seven times or more
But hitting the floor ain't the worst thing in the world

You've gotta lift yourself up and push yourself through
Like a phoenix from the ashes, so can you
Once been and twice shy, but that was the old me
You know the saying, no pain, no gain

Well that's what everybody told me
I was skeptical at first, but as I went on
I realized something more
If I wanna make my mark

Then I might have to go back to the drawing board
A harsh reality, but I had to put my pride aside
Like who am I, the guy who runs from the storm
Or the guy who persists, come rain or shine

I want you to know that it's okay to make mistakes
Make no mistake about it, you'll rise again
Skies the limit as long as you're staying grounded
Yes, rise again, those two words are all it takes

In order to embrace the fall
But you will have no choice but to face
So remember, in order to pull yourself together
You first have to get bent out of shape

And if you wanna rise from the ashes
You first have to go down in flames
Cause everyone falls, maybe seven times or more
But hitting the floor ain't the worst thing in the world

You've gotta lift yourself up and push yourself through
Everyone falls, maybe seven times or more
But hitting the floor ain't the worst thing in the world
You've gotta lift yourself up and push yourself through

Like a phoenix from the ashes, so can you
So can you
