Richard Rogers - Rise Up lyrics

[Verse 1] Hold on my mother said, don't give up on this Go on my lover said, you were meant for this This is all I have, this is all I know I could never let it go, all my life it's filled me up with hope I won't quit, this is my purpose And even through the struggles and hard times it's f**ing worth it [Chorus] You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it You can't just follow, follow, follow Greatness can't arise through typical lives [Verse 2] It's never easy to get what you want, step up your drive Throw doubt aside when you fight for what you love Your dreams are shot and there's a chance to give up Don't give up, show your guts, show them what you're made of Overwhelmed by doubt, life's currents wore me down Losing what I need found I'm adrift, out of it, alone among the crowd [Chorus] You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it You can't just follow, follow, follow Greatness can't arise through typical lives You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it You can't just follow, follow, follow Greatness can't arise through typical lives [Bridge] Hold on my mother said, don't give up on this Go on my lover said, you were meant for this Hold on my mother said, don't give up on this Go on my lover said, you were meant for this [Chorus] You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it You can't just follow, follow, follow Greatness can't arise through typical lives You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it You can't just follow, follow, follow Greatness can't arise through typical lives
