"Rise Up" lyrics

(Rise up!)
(Baby let me tell you)
From all the mistakes that I've made
(Some days will crush your spirit)
And make you question your strength
(You'll wake up in the morning)
Sinking down in your bed
(When everything seems hopeless)
Remember these words I said
You can be a rock star, famous actor
Big league player, doesn't matter
You're gonna fall down (Every day, every day)
You're gonna fall down

And when you taste that earth, face in the dirt
Gotta rise up, gotta rise up
When you're stumbling down, smack on the ground, sing, oh (Oh!)
When the daylight blinds, open your eyes
Gotta rise up, gotta rise up
When the reaper come calling in the dead of night, sing, oh (Oh!)

(Rise up!)
Rise up, rise up now (Rise up!)
To your higher elevation (Rise up!)
From the fires in the basement, sing, oh (Oh!)
(Rise up!)
Rise up, rise up now (Rise up!)
When you're down on the pavement (Rise up!)
Show the crowd what you're made of, sing, oh (Oh!)
(Rise up!)

(Welcome to the world, baby!)
So welcome to the real world
One day you'll be out there earning
Life's about to school ya
Same old lessons 'til you learn 'em
And I promise you this, your shit will hit the fan
And when it does, you can call me and I'll lend a hand
Because you can be a rock star, famous actor
Big league player, doesn't matter
You're gonna fall down
You're gonna fall down

And when you taste that earth, face in the dirt
Gotta rise up, gotta rise up
When you're stumbling down, smack on the ground, sing, oh (Oh!)
When the daylight blinds, open your eyes
Gotta rise up, gotta rise up
When the reaper come calling in the dead of night, sing, oh (Oh!)

(Rise up!)
Rise up, rise up now (Rise up!)
To your higher elevation (Rise up!)
From the fires in the basement, sing, oh (Oh!)
(Rise up!)
Rise up, rise up now (Rise up!)
When you're down on the pavement (Rise up!)
Show the crowd what you're made of, sing, oh (Oh!)
(Rise up!)

Hallelujah! Life is gonna school ya, yeah
Hallelujah! Life is gonna school ya
And it doesn't matter who you are
You can be a rock star, student, teacher
Junior, senior, loser, genius
You're gonna fall down (Every day)
You're gonna fall down (Every day)
You're gonna fall down, fall down, fall down (Every day)
And when you do you gotta rise up!

(Rise up!)
Rise up, rise up now (Rise up!)
To your higher elevation (Rise up!)
From the fires in the basement, sing, oh (Oh!)
(Rise up!)
Rise up, rise up now (Rise up!)
When you're down on the pavement (Rise up!)
Show the crowd what you're made of, sing, oh (Oh!)
(Rise up!)
