Give It All
¼«Æ·ÒôÀÖ - Rise Against Lyrics

Break through the undertow
Fight against the forces that try to drag you down

Your hands I can't seem to find
Feeling lost and alone, unable to find help or guidance

Pollution burns my tongue
The world around has become contaminated and corrupt, causing pain and discomfort

Cough words I can't speak so I stall myself again, then I fall to the surface
Inability to express oneself or take action leads to being stuck in a rut and struggling to stay afloat

Fill my lungs with air
Taking in new life and energy

Then let it out
Releasing the past and negative emotions

I give it all
Putting all effort and passion into what one believes in

This is the reason that I sing
Music as a powerful tool for expressing emotions and inspiring others

So give it all
Encouraging others to also put forth their best efforts and not hold anything back

Cause it's these reasons that belong to me
Personal reasons and motivations for giving everything to a cause

Rock bottom's where we live
Living in difficult and challenging circumstances

And still we dig these trenches
Continuing to work hard and persevere despite the difficulties

Bury ourselves in them
Being completely dedicated to the cause, even if it is challenging and all-consuming

Backs breaking on the tension
Physical and emotional strain due to the weight of the work

For far too long these voices
The voices of those who have been silenced or ignored

Muffled by distances
Being too far away or too different to be noticed or heard

It's time to come to our senses
Realizing the need for action and making a change

And from the dark
Finding hope and strength in the midst of difficulty

Breathe, the air we give
The positive impact and life that is created from dedicated work

The life we live
The importance of making the most of the time we have

Our voices raising distances
Using our voices and actions to break down barriers and bring people together

So when my tongue
When I have the chance to speak up

Break into song
Using music and passion to inspire and bring change

You seize a competition
Inspiring others to also give their all and work hard towards a cause

So please believe your eyes
The evidence of the positive impact and change that has been created

Of sacrifice
The hard work and dedication that has been put in

Is not what we had in our minds
The outcome and impact of the work has surpassed expectations

I'm coming home tonight, home tonight
Feeling fulfilled and accomplished in the work done for the cause

Today I offer up myself to this I'm living for my dying wish
Fully dedicating oneself to the cause and working towards it until the end

Now there's a reason, there's a reason
The purpose and passion for working towards the cause is clear and valid

To give it all
Continuing to put all effort and energy into the cause
