Rise Up

We all pass through pain We all bleed differently I know sometimes Life can be hard Leaving you so unsure I know sometimes You feel like throwing in the towel But giving up shouldn't be an option Yo, I don't know your story but I can guess that I can relate I've been through rough times and I know with this you can resonate I know what it means to have to go through certain circumstances Through the pain, through the fears, and yet still take the chances I know how it feels to have your back stuck up against the wall I know how hard it is to rise up after a mighty fall Through it all, still, I rise, look at me I'm standing tall Dry your tears, face your fears, starting now please don't give up No matter how hard life hits You owe it to yourself to be strong No circumstance, no situation Should be worth killing yourself for So... drop that gun, dump those pills, put away negative thoughts Understand that it's a phase, you must go through certain roughs To be great, to be made, to experience, to succeed To be heard, to be seen, to be felt you must proceed Through it all, stand up tall, raise your head above the waters Be refined, redefine all those dreams and past failures Be persistent, push forward, keep moving, and don't give up Stand your ground, face your fears, make sure they don't hinder you Have some faith, find your strength, know that you will overcome The pain you dread and you feel is only meant to strengthen you It won't be long before you know everything it's teaching you You'll be tough and be bold to take up other challenges And when it's done, you'll look back and realize how far you've come And when it's done, you'll look back and realize how far you've come How far you've come Listen, every success story Has a foundation of faith, pain, frustration, and regrets Pain is momentary — just temporary Don't dwell too long in your broken state Rise Up!
