Rise Up
Rivethead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take a stand, draw a line in the sand, or the world means nothing
Its time you realize your worth, Its time you rise up from the earth
Its time you start to realize, its time you, you, you
Rise Up If you want to live
Fight, Fight, Fight Cuz theres more to life than this
Rise Up Keep things positive
You've got to fail at some things - Get used to suffering
You gotta make plans, take a risk and get slammed, and regret nothing
Its time you taste your own success Its time you rise above the rest
Its time you start to realize, its time you, you, you
Fight, Fight, Fight Till theres nothing left to give
Rise Up If you want to live
Fight, Fight, Fight Cuz theres more to life than this
Rise Up Keep things positive
You've gotta rise above it Or learn to love it
You find your place Make peace with the rest
Stake your claim at something
Its time you stand above the rest, its time to show the world your best
Its time you start to realize, its time you, you, you
Fight, Fight, Fight Till theres nothing left to give
Rise Up If you want to live
Fight, Fight, Fight Cuz theres more to life than this
Rise Up Keep things positive
Fight, Fight, Fight Till theres nothing left to give
Rise Up If you want to live
Fight, Fight, Fight Cuz theres more to life than this
Rise Up Keep things positive
