I won’t, won’t be held down
Be stuck here on the ground
It’s the real me, I have found
And I’m rising up, rising up (repeat)

Feeling something’s incomplete
Your faith is wearing concrete feet
And they refuse to make a move
This can’t be your life

You know that something’s out of step
’Cause you ain’t found the rhythm yet
You pray for one, a different drum
’Cause this one ain’t right

I believe that I can be most anything
Watch me spread my wings

CHORUS
Going vertical
A dream gets to fly
It’s like a miracle, up into the sky
If you want it and need it
Now you just got to free it
And it goes vertical

Why shouldn’t I unlock the door
That’s what I’ve 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
If in my head it’s making sense
I’m gonna choose

To believe that I can be most anything
Watch me spread my wings

CHORUS

I won’t, won’t be held down
Be stuck here on the ground
It’s the real me, I have found
And I’m rising up, rising up (repeat)

Vertical
A miracle
Want it, you need it
Free it
Vertical

CHORUS (repeat and fade)
