Rise Up
Secrets Lyrics

Hold on, my mother said, don't give up on this
My mother urged me to persist and not abandon my pursuit.

Go on my lover said, you were meant for this
My lover encouraged me to continue as I am destined to achieve great things.

This is all I have, this is all I know
This is the single purpose and passion that has consumed my life.

I could never let it go, all my life it's filled me up with hope
I cannot abandon this dream that has kept me hopeful and driven throughout my life.

I won't quit, this is my purpose
I will not give up, for this is my life's mission and driving force.

And even through the struggles and hard times it's fucking worth it
Despite the challenges and hardships, the reward and fulfillment make it all worthwhile.

You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
You must push yourself upwards, relentlessly and tirelessly.

You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
You must wage battle against any obstacle or hindrance in your path.

You can't just follow, follow, follow
You cannot simply imitate or conform to others' expectations or standards.

Greatness can't arise through typical lives
True greatness can only emerge from lives that are distinct and extraordinary.

It's never easy to get what you want, step up your drive
The path to success is fraught with difficulty, so you must intensify your determination and effort.

Throw doubt aside when you fight for what you love
Disregard any skepticism or uncertainty when pursuing your passion.

Your dreams are shot and there's a chance to give up
When your aspirations seem unattainable and you face the temptation to quit.

Don't give up, show your guts, show them what you're made of
Instead of surrendering, display your courage and show others your potential.

Overwhelmed by doubt, life's currents wore me down
Feeling besieged by skepticism, the obstacles of life have pushed me to the brink.

Losing what I need found
Despite setbacks, do not lose sight of what is truly essential.

I'm adrift, out of it, alone among the crowd
Feeling directionless and disconnected, despite being surrounded by others.

Hold on my mother said, don't give up on this
Again, my mother urges me to persevere, to hold on to my faith.

Go on my lover said, you were meant for this
Once more, my lover reminds me that my destiny is greatness.

You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Once again, I must push myself onward and upward.

You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
Once again, I must wage battle against any obstacle or hindrance in my path.

You can't just follow, follow, follow
Once again, I am reminded that true success comes from individuality and uniqueness.

Greatness can't arise through typical lives
Once again, I am reminded that the road to greatness is uncommon and challenging.
