Rise Up
Grace Lee Lyrics

You're broken down and tired
You feel exhausted and defeated

Of living life on a merry-go-round
You feel like you're stuck in a cycle of monotony

And you can't find the fighter
You feel like you've lost your inner strength and motivation

But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
I see the fighter in you, so we're going to work together to overcome

And move mountains
Together, we can overcome any obstacle

And I'll rise up
I will stand up and take action

I'll rise like the day
I will rise with strength and determination

I'll rise unafraid
I will not let fear hold me back

And I'll do it a thousand times again
I will continue to rise despite any setbacks

High like the waves
I will rise to great heights, like the waves of the ocean

In spite of the ache
Despite the pain and struggle, I will persevere

For you
I am doing this for you, to support and inspire you

When the silence isn't quiet
When things seem calm but you're still struggling

And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
When life's obstacles feel overwhelming

And I know you feel like dying
When you feel like giving up completely

But I promise we'll take the world to it's feet
I promise we'll get through this and rise above

All we need, all we need is hope
The only thing we need to keep going is hope

And for that we have each other
We have each other to lean on and support

We will rise
Together, we will overcome

We'll rise, oh oh
We'll continue to rise and inspire others to do the same
