Madeleine, what's up with those tears in your eyes?
What happened when you shut down
And all the amber lights turned into red?
In the silence of your cave you feel safe
You decorate it with velvet drapes
Outside you see the dark woods
But you don't know there's fields of gold ahead

Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, you'll know
That help is on its way

Rise up, rise up, rise up, Madeleine
The sun'll come up again
Rise up, rise up, rise up, Madeleine
The sun will be comin'
Kiss you with honesty
Love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you back your dignity
So rise up, rise up, rise up, live again
'Cause only you can, madeleine

Oh, Madeleine

Remember when we used to sit and watch from the bridge?
And wonder where the ships will go
Who was on and what they would find out
You wrote it in a notebook
And said someday that this will be a story to tell
And you’d put it in a movie, maybe be the movie star
Something stole your tears and wiped your smile away

Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, you'll know
That help is on its way

Rise up, rise up, rise up, Madeleine
The sun'll come up again
Rise up, rise up, rise up, Madeleine
The sun will be comin'
Kiss you with honesty
Love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you back your dignity
So rise up, rise up, rise up, live again
'Cause only you can, madeleine

Let the sun shine warm your heart today
So rise up, rise up, rise up, Madeleine

Rise up, rise up, rise up, Madeleine
The sun'll come up again
Rise up, rise up, rise up, Madeleine
The sun will be comin'
Kiss you with honesty
Love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you back your dignity
So rise up, rise up, rise up, live again
'Cause only you can, madeleine

Oh, Madeleine
Oh, Madeleine
