O-o-o-oh
O-o-o-oh

I take you one step further
I take you one step further

I will rise to the occasion
O-o-o-oh
I will always be there by your side
O-o-o-oh
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
O-o-o-oh

I will rise to the occasion
O-o-o-oh
I will always be there by your side
O-o-o-oh
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 hurricaine
'Cause I will be there by your side
O-o-o-oh

I will rise to the occasion
O-o-o-oh
I will always be there by your side
O-o-o-oh
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 her me recite
I'm going through me motions
And you know how much I fight
But I don't need to worry about thieves in the nights
'Cause you will be there by my side

And when you feel it's over
I take you one step further
O-o-o-oh
And when you feel it's over
I take you one step further
O-o-o-oh
And when you feel it's over
I take you one step further
O-o-o-oh
You know you can count on my pride
O-o-o-oh

I will rise to the occasion
(I take you one step further)
O-o-o-oh
I will always be there by your side
(I take you one step further)
O-o-o-oh
I will rise to the occasion
(I take you one step further)
You can count on my pride
Ah-ah-ah-ah

O-o-o-oh
I will rise to the occasion
(I take you one step further)
O-o-o-oh
I will always be there by your side
(I take you one step further)
O-o-o-oh
I will rise to the occasion
(I take you one step further)
You can count on my pride
Ah-ah-ah-ah
