Rise To The Top

Sweat on your brow
And you keep pressing on
You keep your head held high

Smile and you sing
But there's only one thing
You feel like you're passed by

You can't take it hard
Cos' they won't understand
That when the chips are down
You'll have the upper hand
I won't be put down
You can't push me away
I'm gonna stand on my own
And I'm going to say

Yeah I'm gonna rise to the top
Baby I'm gonna set the bar
You can pay no regard, you can look away
But I'm gonna go so far

Room with a crowd
But you still stand alone
Is there something wrong with me?

A club VIP
But you don't have a key
It's clear you don't fit in

Courtesy calls
And rears up it's head
A thicket of lies
In the light that you shed
I won't be put down
You can't push me away
I'm gonna stand on my own
And I'm going to say

Oh, I'm gonna rise to the top
Yeah I'm gonna set the bar
You can sing your praises
You can leave me out
But I'm gonna go so far

You can look right through me
You can walk right past
I've got never a care
I was built to last
