Give It All
Rise Against (NFS Underground 2 OST) Lyrics

Break through the undertow,
Overcome the forces attempting to drown me

Your hands I can't seem to find,
Unable to locate the assistance I need

Pollution burns my tongue,
Toxicity corrupts my speech

Cough the words I can't speak so I stall myself again, then I fall to the surface,
Struggling to express myself, I hesitate and eventually resurface

Fill my lungs with air,
Breathe deeply

Then let it out
Exhale

I give it all,
I am fully committed

This is the reason that I sing,
In order to express this passion, I use my voice

So give it all,
In order to achieve my goals, I must expend all of my effort

Cause it's these reasons that belong to me
The motivation behind my actions is personal and important to me

Rock bottoms where we live,
Our current state of being is incredibly low

And still we dig these trenches,
Despite the difficulty, we continue to make progress

Bury ourselves in them,
Committing fully to our efforts, regardless of the repercussions

Backs breaking on the tension
The effort we put in is physically taxing and emotionally draining

For far too long these voices,
These voices have been ignored for too long

Muffled by distances,
The distance between us has made it difficult to hear these voices

It's time to come to our senses,
It's time for us to truly understand and acknowledge what needs to be done

And from the dark
Emerging from a difficult or challenging place

Breathe, the air we give,
Breathe in the positive contributions we offer

The life we live,
The way we exist

Our voices raising distances,
Our words and actions can create a positive change, even from a distance

So when my tongue,
When I speak

Break into song,
Express myself powerfully through music

You seize a competition,
You feel compelled to compete with me, because of the strength of my expression

So please believe your eyes,
Trust what you can clearly see and feel

Of sacrifice,
The things we have given up for this cause

Is not what we had in our minds,
Our idea of what it takes to achieve our goals is not the same as the reality

I'm coming home tonight, home tonight
I am returning with a sense of accomplishment and purpose

Today I offer myself up to this I'm living for my dying wish,
I am dedicating myself fully to this cause, because it is so important to me

Now there's a reason, there's a reason,
There is a clear motivation behind my actions

To give it all
To commit myself entirely to achieving my goals
