Lyrics

I'm looking around and I see more of the same People looking for purpose, someone to blame As I'm on my quest for fame, every day the place is changed As the humble trying to play the game I figured it out, my dreams are bigger than me Them taking much further than I thought it would be I'm so glad that I believe that God has plans for me Mama told me it will happen, you'll see Yeah, yeah Time for you to raise up Time for you to get right Time for you to get up Time for you to be loud Time for you to raise up Get up, stand up, raise up You gotta know who you are You are meant for a purpose Raise'n for you is meant to be You are meant to be I take a move forward 'til I let go off the past I needed my freedom, I needed it bad If we all could just forgive It's the only way to live I have more now than I ever had Here's a part and it is written for you Take your time to find the truth What do you have to lose? It's time for you to choose No one else can do it for you Time for you to raise up Time for you to get right Time for you to get up Time for you to be loud Time for you to raise up Get up, stand up, raise up You gotta know who you are You are meant for a purpose Raise'n for you is meant to be You are meant to be When judgment day comes, have you given your best? Has the world been changed by the love that you lost? Forgive those who trespassed against you Rise through the pain, let it go What happened is done, it's time to live again You gotta know who you are You are meant for a purpose Raising for you is meant to be You are meant to be Time for you to raise up Time for you to get right Time for you to get up Time for you to be loud Time for you to raise up Get up, stand up, raise up You gotta know who you are You are meant for a purpose Raise'n for you is meant to be You are meant to be Time for you to raise up Time for you to get right Time for you to get up Time for you to be loud Time for you to raise up Get up, stand up, raise up You gotta know who you are You are meant for a purpose Raise'n for you is meant to be You are meant to be Raise up, get up Raise up, get up Raise up, get up Raise up, get up Raise up, get up Raise up, get up
