Rise Up
Kyley Styles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last year I started reading
'Cause leather binding books find better words
You could say I'm still competing
To be up at 6AM before the birds
How do you define succeeding?
What hides behind the mind is what you heard
Is my confidence misleading?
My reasoning may not be so absurd
Oh, I'm on a roll
This city saved my soul
My touch will turn to gold
This simple self-control
Will dig me out of this hole and
Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up
When times get tough, we must
Rise Up
We must, we must
Oh, it might be hard to fathom
But past the clouds, you'll always find the sun
I'm not the only one that has 'em
These dreams of being free and on the run
Now my sick thoughts start to spasm
And dissipate the hate that had begun
I could hide it with sarcasm
But could never recreate this peace with one
Oh, I'm on a roll
This city saved my soul
My touch will turn to gold
With simple self-control
I'll dig me out of this hole and
Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up
When the tides get rough, we must
Rise Up




We must, we must
Rise Up
