I take you one step further
I take you one step further
I will rise to the occasion
I will always be there by your side
I will rise to the occasion
You can count on my pride ah ah ah ah
The words are on your lips
And I can hear you recite
You're going through the motions
And I know how you fight
But you don't need to worry
About thieves in the night
Cause I will be there by your side
Your life has been a struggle
Now come see about me
I've got my graduation
You're my final degree
I will ignore the warnings
While I'm setting you free
Cause I will be there by your side
I will rise to the occasion
I will always be there by your side
I will rise to the occasion
You can count on my pride ah ah ah ah
Who said life should be easy
That was not my refrain
My life has been preparing
For the storm and the rain
So when the winds are blowing
I'll be your hurricane
Cause I will be there by your side
I will rise to the occasion
I will always be there by your side
I will rise to the occasion
You can count on my pride ah ah ah ah
The words are on my lips and you can hear me recite
I'm going through the motions and you know how much I fight
But I don't need to worry
about thieves in the night
Cause you will be there by my side
And when you feel it's over
I take you one step further
And when you feel it's over
I take you one step further
And when you feel it's over
I take you one step further
I will rise to the occasion
I will always be there by your side
I will rise to the occasion
You can count on my pride ah ah ah ah
