Rise Up
Sunkids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uhhhh....uhhh...
Ah ah....

There is a strong power
Yeah it ain't so far

And somedays ehy ehy
It seems like nothing ain't right
We gotta get together , Ohooo
It's the only way
(it's the only way)
Cannot take me to a higher level
Rising off today

Free it up!

(rise up)
We're going higher
(rise up)
Ehy rise up today
(rise up)
Release release, the pressure again
(rise up)
Put your hands up

Forget tomorrow
Gonna work today
Won't you listen people?
Toward I have to see
(my ways are true)

To know the future
Gotta know the past
Gotta keep on pushing, and pushing, and pushing
See it through my lust
Be be be be be

(rise up)
We're going higher
(rise up)
Ehy rise up today
(rise up)
Release release, the pressure again
(rise up)
Put your hands up

(rise up)
We're going higher
(rise up)
Oooh rise up today
(rise up)
Rise rise rise rise...
(rise up)
Can you feel?

Listen to my story
'Cause no words are true
Can I find the mountain?
Can I find them through
The power is in the knowledge
And the power is in the way way way...
Now tell me use it
We're rising off today

(rise up)
We're going higher
(rise up)
Ehy rise up today
(rise up)
Release release, the pressure again
(rise up)
Put your hands up

(Eh can't you see, eh can't you see...)

(rise up)
We're going higher
(rise up)
Ehy rise up today
(rise up)
Release release, the pressure again
(rise up)
Can you feel?
Rise up!
We're gonna make it




Get up, get upper for you babe
Yes we rise up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Rise Up" by Sunkids feat. Chance are a call to action to face adversity and move forward. The first verse sets the tone, acknowledging the existence of a strong force that is not out of reach. However, there are days where everything seems to be going wrong, and the only solution is for everyone to come together. This collective action is portrayed as the only way to bring about change and move to a higher level.


The chorus repeats the phrase "rise up" over and over again, almost like a mantra, with a command to release pressure and put your hands up. The second verse maintains the message of moving forward but acknowledges the past as well. To know the future, one must understand the past, and the only way to make a change is to keep pushing. The pre-chorus starts with "listen to my story" and goes on to say that the power is in the knowledge of the past and the correct way to approach it. The lyrics end with a final chorus that emphasizes the power of collective action and culminates in a call to "get up, get upper for you babe."
