Rise Up

[Verse 1: Richard Rogers & Wade Walters]
"Hold on," my mother said, "Don't give up on this"
"Go on," my lover said, "You were meant for this"
This is all I have, this is all I know
I could never let it go
All my life, it's filled me up with hope
I won't quit, this is my purpose
And even through the struggles and hard times
It's fucking worth it

[Chorus: Richard Rogers; both]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
You can’t just follow, follow, follow
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives

[Verse 2: Richard Rogers]
It's never easy to get what you want, step up your drive
Throw doubt aside when you fight for what you love
Your dreams are shot and there's a chance to give up
Don't give up, show your guts, show them what you're made of
Overwhelmed by doubt
Life's currents wore me down
Losing what I need found
I'm adrift, out of it, alone among the crowd

[Chorus: Richard Rogers; both]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
You can't just follow, follow, follow
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
You can't just follow, follow, follow
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives

[Bridge: Richard Rogers]
"Hold on," my mother said, "Don't give up on this"
"Go on," my lover said, "You were meant for this"
"Hold on," my mother said, "Don't give up on this"
"Go on," my lover said, "You were meant for this"

[Chorus: Richard Rogers; both]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
You can't just follow, follow, follow
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
You can't just follow, follow, follow
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives
