Rise Up

The purpose of life is not the path of most resistance

The struggles inside will bring you to your knees

Who am I if I won't rise up?

Who am I if I fail?

Now it's time to go the distance

Now it's time to prevail

For the first time in my life

We can't fail

For the first time in our lives

We can't fail

I can't turn my back and just walk away

So many times I've watched you suffer from this pain

In these final hours this too shall be fine

The moment will come through the darkest of times

You have to rise up

Fight to live for another day

These negative times just lead to more indifference

We rationalize and plead to no avail

How could I just turn and back up?

How could I walk away?

When I was given so much freely

How could I ever complain?

I can't turn my back and just walk away

So many times I've watched you suffer from this pain

In these final hours this too shall be fine

The moment will come through the darkest of times

You have to rise up

Fight to live for another day

This is the context of our lives

These are the best of days

Our hardships will define

Who lives free again

I can't turn my back and just walk away

So many times I've watched you suffer from this pain

In these final hours this too shall be fine

The moment will come through the darkest of times

You have to rise up

Fight to live for another day
