“Rise” by Atlantic Riff

I know it’s been said before
I know it’s been sung
But time is short my friend
Our chances are one

These walls we built together
Bid them farewell
They‘re holding us back anyway
It’s a blessing they fell

In the rubble 
And remains of belief
Find your way
Find your relief

If it takes a scream from the mountainside
A dive into the deep
Rise
We will rise

Reach for the truth
Touch the hand of, of the divine
I know it, I believe it
One day we’ll rise

The spirit hardens
Beliefs in concrete
Melt us on the inside
Give us a hunger to seek

This life it packs a punch yeah
Words are the sword
But heal these wounds I plead
Harm me no more

If it takes a scream from the mountainside
A dive into the deep
Rise
We will rise

Reach for the truth
Touch the hand of, of the divine
I know it, I believe it
We will rise

Sail above the mountain
Swim out of the deep
Use our hunger
We’ll touch the hand we seek

Rise, we will rise
I believe we will rise
Rise, we will rise
One day we will rise

Time is short my friend
Our chances are one

Rise

“Free” by Atlantic Riff

At times I run away inside my dreams
I escape and tear away - at the seams
A script re-written – a new life to breathe  
I find another way - a new reality

I see colors not visible in light
Visions of truth made up of love of all that’s right
I struggle, scratch, scream, I claw and fight
When the meek like me create - we take back the night 

Life has its chances
Resolution sings
My soul it dances
Rip right through the strings

I sail above the pain
A break from misery
Someone is watching, watching over me
Because I’m free
Now I’m free
Free

When did the world turn upside down?
It’s hard to fly away tethered to the ground
But as sure as this world - keeps turning round
I will find a way - I’m heaven bound

I break the ties that bind – I’m on a search to find 
I may stumble but I stand again to climb 		
Word to all of those underestimating me
I’m on a higher path - a new way to be

“What Remains”

After the flood, after the rain
There came a new beginning in me
And questions on what remains

The only thing sure in this life 
Is that all things must change
My life’s not filled with roses
It’s paid with blood that’s red just the same

Lift me up, lift me up higher
Above the fog, above the gray 
My soul, it soars.  Release me 
From these worldly chains


After the flood, after the rain
There came a new beginning in me
And questions on what remains

I watch others as they fall away from me
They were once in my life
But here I stand waiting to see
Do I still believe?

Lift me up, lift me up higher
Above the fog, above the gray 
My soul, it soars.  Release me 
From these worldly chains

I will surely shine 
Brighter than the hour of my darkest day
Even tonight my heart is speaking
I will remain

What Remains

“Live Forever”

In slow motion you see the glass is breaking
Not sure how much of this you’ll be taking
Voice inside your head said run away, run away 
Run away

Howl at the moon
Tear at the shirt you’re wearing
And live forever
Live forever

Rip off the chains you’re bearing
And live forever
Live forever

Jump up and let it pour right out of you
And live forever
Live forever

Plans you should be making
Sleeping in again 
and thinking fooling yourself 
Fooling yourself

Dreams you should be started
Only half baking
Sleepwalker’s dance

Living in frustration
Letting yourself down
Trying to get it together
Trying to get it together

Howl at the moon
Tear at the shirt you’re wearing
And live forever
Live forever

Rip off the chains you’re bearing
And live forever
Live forever

Jump up and let it pour right off of you
And live forever
Live forever

Howl at the moon
Tear at the shirt you’re wearing
Howl at the moon
Rip off these chains you’re bearing
And live forever
Live forever
And live forever
And live forever

“Down” by Atlantic Riff

We met it was a time of newness and wonder
I guess we missed the sound of the thunder 

I try to pick you up
Stand behind you 
But down you go 
Down you go

The tide is picking up
Waves are getting rough
And down you go
Down you go

You don’t have to say it
I am the King of Excuses
Should we give it up
Or try to push right through it

I try to pick you up
Stand behind you 
But down you go 
Down you go

The tide is picking up
Waves are getting rough
And down you go
Down you go

But I can’t let you go
I can’t let you go
No I can’t let you go
I won’t let you go

I go out of my mind
Thinking about you leaving
We fought through the hard times
So you don’t even have to say it

I can pick you up
Stand behind you 
And down we’ll go 
Down we go

I go out of my mind
Thinking about you leaving
We fought through the hard times
So you don’t even have to say it

Down

“Heartstrings” by Atlantic Riff

Stranded 
Pulling me away from the light
Sometimes in the night 
I hear the sound of heartstrings

Stranded and standing alone 
Inside my mind I hear a beat
It keeps me alive
My heartstrings
Heartstrings

On and on and on 
I feel the pull of the flame
No one else here to blame
Only need to heal my pain

On and on and on
I dream of a better day
Someone else to sing along 
To my heartstrings

Stranded
Swimming up against the tide
Sometimes I cross the line
Cross the line

Bending not breaking
Stringing me along 
Still I fight ‘til I find the one 
To harmonize with my heartstrings

On and on and on 
I feel the pull of the flame
No one else here to blame
Only need to heal my pain

On and on and on
I dream of a better day
Someone else to sing along
To my heartstrings

On and on and on…
