Rise Up

(album: HEIGHTS - 2021)

Baby let me tell you
From all the mistakes I've made
Some days will crush your spirit
And make you question your strength
You'll wake up in the morning
Sinking down in your bed
When everything seems hopeless
Remember these words I said:

You can be a rockstar, famous actor
Big league player, doesn't matter!
You're gonna fall down (everyday)
You're gonna fall down

And when you taste that earth, face in the dirt
Gotta rise up, gotta rise up
When you're stumblin down, smack on the ground, sing oh!
When the daylight blinds, open your eyes
Gotta rise up, gotta rise up
When the reaper come calling in the dead of night, sing oh!

Rise up, rise up now
To your higher elevation
From the fires in the basement, sing oh!
Rise up, rise up now
When you're down on the pavement
Show the crowd what you're made of, sing oh!
Rise up

(Welcome to the world, baby!)
So welcome to the real world
One day you'll be out there earning
Life's about to school ya
Same old lessons til you learn em
And I promise you this, your shit will hit the fan
And when it does, you can call me and I'll lend a hand

You can be a rockstar, famous actor
Big league player, doesn't matter!
You're gonna fall down (everyday)
You're gonna fall down...

Hallelujah! Life is gonna school ya

You can be a rockstar, student, teacher
Junior, senior, loser, genius
You're gonna fall down (everyday)
You're gonna fall down, fall down, fall down (everyday)
And when you do you gotta rise up!
