Rise Up
Sheryl Crow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We take one step
One tiny step and we're on our way
To where we are from where we were
Just yesterday

Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And everything seems dark
The sun's gonna rise up with you

You'll be allright
I'm on your side
And we'll make it through
When you can't go on
I will be strong
Enough to carry you

Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And nothing seems allright
The sun's gonna rise up with you

Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing




And everything seems dark
The sun's gonna rise up with you

Line by Line Meaning

We take one step
We start with a single step


One tiny step and we're on our way
Just one small step can set us on our journey


To where we are from where we were
Our destination is different than where we started


Just yesterday
It wasn't long ago that we were in a different place


Well the sun's gonna rise
No matter what happens


When it's everything or nothing
Regardless of the situation


And everything seems dark
When things seem hopeless


The sun's gonna rise up with you
Things will get better eventually


You'll be allright
You will be fine


I'm on your side
I support you


And we'll make it through
We will overcome this together


When you can't go on
When you feel like giving up


I will be strong
I will be your strength


Enough to carry you
I will help you get through this

We take one step
One tiny step and we're on our way
To where we are from where we were
Just yesterday
Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And everything seems dark
The sun's gonna rise up with you
You'll be allright
I'm on your side
And we'll make it through
When you can't go on
I will be strong
Enough to carry you
Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And nothing seems allright
The sun's gonna rise up with you
Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And everything seems dark
The sun's gonna rise up with you
