Rise Up Lyrics

It's been a rough morning, in fact it's been a rough week

The sky is blue but I don't hear you calling me

And I missed this train, I didn't even hear it pull into the station

And now I'm waiting all alone in my shame

You asked me over to sing a few

I said, can't, I've got a job to do

And I felt that familiar nothingness coming through

What is it that keeps me frozen even when it's warm outside

What is it that keeps me down when I'm supposed to fly

I'm supposed to fly

See there's old blood coursing through me

From the lives that have gone before me

And it slows me down now and then

And despair built my bones

And fear forged my flesh

But there's a warrior's spirit somewhere in here too

And the truth is that life has always terrified me

But dying empty always terrified me more

It terrifies me more, yeah

And I know how to make friends with other people

But I haven't yet learned how to make friends with myself

So I play music to fill that space in me

And I know the earth has birthed a place for me

And it's the heart that we've got to pay mind to

Or we may find ourselves where we ain't supposed to be

And sometimes I can't see beyond my own eyes

But I know inside that I'm gonna rise up

I'm gonna rise up, yeah

I'm gonna rise up, yeah

I'm gonna rise up
