Rise
Calum Scott Lyrics

I've been staring at the coastline
Looking back at my past and reflecting on my choices in life

Thinking of every choice I've made
Remembering and considering every decision I have made up until this point

To lead me here right now
To bring me to where I currently am in life

Standing on solid ground
Feeling confident and secure in my current circumstances

And I've been hiding in the shadows
Feeling uncertain and unsure about my future

Wondering if I'm on the right road
Questioning whether the path I am on is the correct one

Some place I've never been
Facing new and unknown challenges

Is this how it all begins? Oh
Wondering if this is the start of a new chapter in life

'Cause I've got my best suit on and I'm ready
Feeling prepared and confident for what's ahead

I've got my sleeves rolled up
Ready to work hard and put in effort to succeed

And I'll be on my way
Determined to move forward and face challenges head-on

While my heart's thumping, pum-pum, pum-pum
Feeling nervous and anxious, but also excited

You're gonna see me rise
I am determined to succeed and prove myself

For every valley, there's a mountain
Life has its ups and downs and challenges, but also opportunities

For every answer, there's a new question
Life is full of unknowns and uncertainties

Is it worth all this
Questioning if the effort and hard work is worth it

Pushing myself to the edge?
Challenging myself to go beyond my limits and potential

'Cause we're all looking for a reason
We are all searching for a purpose and motivation in life

Find a shelter from the storm within
Finding a source of strength and resilience within oneself to face challenges

Just keep your eyes ahead
Looking forward and focusing on the future and opportunities

And dust yourself off again, oh
Getting back up and trying again after facing obstacles

Not how you fall back down
What's important is not the failure itself, but how one responds to it

But how you get back up
Showing resilience and determination to overcome obstacles

Before you hit the ground
Being proactive and taking control before things become too difficult

Oh, rise, rise, oh rise, yeah (rise, rise, rise)
A declaration of determination and resilience to keep pushing forward and succeed

You're gonna see me rise
I am motivated and determined to succeed and prove myself
