Rise
Boyzone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we have way more than we should
Our grass is greener than green
But when it turns and easy gets hard
That's when we see who we are
Keep on because we believe
We bend, we break
We win, we lose, we try
We climb, we fall
We take it all
We bruise, we bleed, we fight
Then we rise
In-between the black and the white
In-between the wrong and the right
There's a hassle full to be found
If we open up our arms and forgive
Count up all our reasons to live
Maybe we could turn this around
We give, we take
We bend, we break
We win, we lose, we try
We climb, we fall
We take it all
We bruise, we bleed, we fight
Then we rise
We will take the higher road
And we will because we know
That it's right and it's just
And we'll fight if we must
And rise
We give, we take
We bend, we break
We win, we lose, we try
We climb, we fall
We take it all
We bruise, we bleed, we fight
Then we rise
Then we rise
Then we rise
Then we rise
In this song, Boyzone sings about the ups and downs of life and how we deal with them. When everything is going well, it's easy to be content and happy, but when things get difficult, that's when we discover who we really are. The song encourages listeners to keep pushing through difficult times, to never give up, and to believe in ourselves.
The lyrics make use of a number of contrasts to drive the message home. For example, "when it's easy" is paired with "when easy gets hard," and "we win" is set against "we lose." The song acknowledges the challenges that life can bring, but urges us to keep pushing on, no matter what.
Overall, "Rise" is an inspiring song that encourages us to keep trying, no matter how many times we fall. It acknowledges that life can be hard, but reminds us that we are capable of rising above it all, if we keep pushing forward.
Line by Line Meaning
When it's easy, when it's all good
Life is great when everything is going smooth
When we have way more than we should
We tend to overlook our blessings and crave for more
Our grass is greener than green
Things appear better on the other side
But when it turns and easy gets hard
Life's challenges come and hit us hard when we least expect it
That's when we see who we are
Our true character and strength are revealed during tough times
Keep on because we believe
We continue to persevere because of our faith and hope
We give, we take
Life is about balance and compromise
We bend, we break
We are not invincible and can succumb to pressure
We win, we lose, we try
Life is full of ups and downs but we must keep pushing forward
We climb, we fall
Life is a journey with obstacles to overcome
We take it all
We accept what life throws our way
We bruise, we bleed, we fight
We endure pain and struggle but we don't give up
Then we rise
We pick ourselves up and keep moving forward
In-between the black and the white
There are shades of grey in life
In-between the wrong and the right
We face moral dilemmas and must make tough decisions
There's a hassle full to be found
Life is full of obstacles and challenges
If we open up our arms and forgive
Forgiveness is essential for healing and growth
Count up all our reasons to live
We must focus on the positive aspects of our lives
Maybe we could turn this around
There is always hope for change and improvement
We will take the higher road
We will choose the morally right path
And we will because we know
Our convictions guide our actions
That it's right and it's just
Doing the right thing is important
And we'll fight if we must
We will stand up for what we believe in and fight for justice
And rise
We will overcome challenges and emerge stronger
Then we rise
We rise to the occasion and overcome obstacles
Then we rise
We keep on rising
Then we rise
We keep persevering until we succeed
