RISING IN LOVE  © 1986 David Roth

Everyone looks for their calling in love

But I always find it surprising

The way people say that they're falling in love

When I always felt I was rising

Floating right off of the ground and reaching

Something that I only have dreamed of

I'm not falling at all

I am rising in love

Everyone talks about tying the knot

But I have a hard time agreeing

With the way that we bind up the love that we've got

When the feeling of love should be freeing

Lifting each other up  

Instead of giving one another a shove

We won't be falling at all

We'll be rising in love

How do you let love grow

You've got to give it a chance when you've found it

A bird in your hand will stay until 

You start to close your fingers around it

Love is the river who's waters we test

And a measure of where we are going

But you never can step in the same river twice

For the water is constantly flowing

But the deeper the river, the greater the trust

And the more that we're rising above

We won't be falling at all

We'll be rising in love

I'm not falling at all I am rising

I'm not falling at all I am rising

I'm not falling at all I am rising ...

In love
