[Verse 1: Nick]
Madeleine
What's up with those tears in your eyes?
What happened when you shut down
And all the amber lights turn 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

[Pre-Chorus: Nick]
Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, you'll know that help is on its way

[Chorus: Nick]
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come out again
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come and kiss you with honesty
Love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you everything you need
So rise up, rise up, rise and live again
'Cause only you can Madeleine
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Madeleine

[Verse 2: AJ with Brian]
'Member when
You used to sit and watch from the bridge
And wonder where the ships would go
Who was on and what they would find out?
(Oooh-oooh)
You wrote it in a notebook
And said, "someday that this would be a story to tell
And you put it in a movie
Maybe be the movie star
Something stole your tears and wiped your smile away
Hey-hey

[Pre-Chorus: AJ with Brian]
Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, you'll know, help is on its way

[Chorus: All, AJ with Brian, AJ]
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come out again
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come and kiss you with honesty
Love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you everything you need
So rise up, rise up, rise and live again
'Cause only you can Madeleine
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Bridge: Howie with Kevin & Brian]
Let the sunshine warm your heart today

[Interlude: AJ]
So rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
Oh-oh-oh-oh!

[Chorus: All, Nick with Brian, Nick]
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come out again
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come and kiss you with honesty
Love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you everything you need
So rise up, rise up, rise and live again
'Cause only you can Madeleine
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, Madeleine
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, Madeleine

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
