Who You Are
The Rising Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well look what the cat dragged in
Here's a picture from way back when
We were all that we could be
I still remember that day with you
How the minutes and hours flew
How your smile overtook me

It was the first time I felt the sun
I knew that you were the only one for me, plain and simple
As you are, as you are, as you are
And everytime that I see your face
No, know no one ever could take your place
'Cause you made it easy, as you are, as you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are

Just as you are you're all that I need
You'll see that the world gets the best of me
You're all that I need just as you are
And just as you are, you're all that I need
You'll see that the world gets the best of me
You're all that I need, just as you are
As you are




As you are
As you are

When life has cut too deep and left you hurting
The future you had hoped for is now burning
And the dreams you held so tight lost their meaning
And you don't if you'll ever find the healing
You're gonna make it
You're gonna make it
And the night can only last for so long
Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
And the sun is rising
And the sun is rising
Sun is rising
And the sun is rising
Every high and every low you're gonna go through
You don't have to be afraid I am with you (I am with you)
In the moments you're so weak you feel like stopping
Let the hope you have light the road you're walking
You're gonna make it
You're gonna make it
The night can only last for so long
Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising
And even when you can't imagine how
How you're ever gonna find your way out
Even when you're drabbling in your doubt
Just look beyond the clouds
The sun is rising
The sun is rising
Just look beyond the clouds
The sun is rising
The sun is rising
Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising
The sun is rising
The sun is rising yeah
The sun is rising ooh oh
Yeah yeah
Even when you can't imagine how
How you're ever gonna find your way out
Even when you're drabbling in your doubt
Just look beyond the clouds
Even when you can't imagine how
How you're ever gonna find your way out
Even when you're drabbling in your doubt
Just look beyond the clouds

Just watched the movie, The Other Woman, for the umpteenth time. I finally got around to searching this beautiful song. This song is from the most powerful scene in the movie, when Kate (Leslie Mann, my favorite actress!) realizes that she must end her marriage, and she throws her wedding rings into the ocean. She then falls down on the sand, overcome with the emotion of it all. The other two ladies then quietly sit beside her, and without a word, they share her pain. Such a beautiful expression of friendship, all portrayed without a word spoken... just this beautiful song in the background. ❤️

@pikelawson

Haha yeah! It’s a fun movie to watch every single time.. I can’t believe this song is still hard to find, wow! I thought it’d be easier nowadays since I also had a had a hard time looking for this song many years ago, and when I did I just kept it in my playlist ahaha. It’s too bad that whenever you search any lyrics from her, Google doesn’t know. It’s like you just have to burn “Britt Nicole” into your brain haha

@MrsSaenz16

That exact scene brought me here, too.

@thandizulu5317

Best part of the movie for me.

@shabtifoxx7991

I'm a Christian and a metalhead, I listened to her music whenever I'm feeling down, can't sleep, and scared, Britt Nicole and Francesca Battillie are like angels from heaven with their music because it's sounds heavely and uplifting 😇😇🥺🥺

@abbykittle5058

Both of them have amazing songs. They're both two of my favorite Christian artists! I like a lot of different kinds of music besides metal. lol But, I do like Christian rock.

@thebojieepair

I have no idea why but this song brings SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many tears to my eyes EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear it...thanks Britt.
