I won’t, I won’t, won’t be held down
Be stuck here on the ground
Yes sir, it’s the real me, real me
I have found and 
I’m risin’ up, risin’ up
I won’t, I won’t, won’t be held down
Be stuck here on the ground
It’s the real me, real me
I have found and 
I’m risin’ up, risin’ up, yeah
You're feelin’ somethin’s incomplete
Your faith is wearin' concrete feet
And they refuse to make a move
This can’t be your life
You know that somethin’s out of step'
Cause you ain’t found the rhythm yet
You break for one different drum'
Cause this one ain't right
I believe that 
I can be most anything
Watch me spread my wings
Goin' vertical, a dream gets to fly
It’s like a miracle, up into the sky
If you want it, you need it, now you just got to free it
And it goes vertical, vertical
Why shouldn’t 
I unlock the door?
That’s what 
I got my own key for
I don’t care who's keepin' score
I’m not gonna lose
Don’t matter what 
I'm up against
Only what it represents
Within my head, it’s makin' sense
I’m gonna choose
To believe that 
I can be most anything
Watch me spread my wings
Goin' vertical, a dream gets to fly
It’s like a miracle, up into the sky
If you want it, you need it, now you just got to free it
And it goes vertical
I won’t, I won’t, won’t be held down
Be stuck here on the ground
Yes sir, it’s the real me, real me
I have found and 
I’m risin’ up, risin’ up
I won’t, I won’t, won’t be held down
Be stuck here on the ground
It’s the real me, real me
I have found and 
I’m risin’ up, risin’ up, yeah
Vertical, a miracle
Want it, you need it, free it
VerticalVertical, a dream gets to fly
It’s like a miracle, up into the sky
If you want it, you need it, now you just got to free it
And it goes vertical
Vertical, a dream gets to fly
It’s like a miracle
