Rise up
(Baby, let me tell you)
From all the mistakes that I've made
(Some days will crush your spirit)
And make you question your strength
(You 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 (every day, every day)
You're gonna fall down
And when you taste that earth, face in the dirt
Gotta rise up, gotta rise up
And when you're stumbling down, smack on the ground
Sing, "Oh" (oh)
When the daylight blinds, open your eyes
Gotta rise up, you gotta rise up
And when the reaper come calling in the dead of night
Sing, "Oh" (oh)
(Rise up)
Rise up, rise up now (rise up)
To your higher elevation (rise up)
From the fires in the basement
Sing, "Oh" (oh)
(Rise up)
Rise up, rise up now (rise up)
When you're down on the pavement (rise up)
Show the crowd what you're made of
Sing, "Oh" (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 until you learn 'em
And I promise you this
Your shit will hit the fan (yeah)
And when it does, you can call me and I'll lend a hand
'Cause you can be a rockstar, famous actor
Big league player, doesn't matter
You're gonna fall down (every day, every day)
Ooh, you're gonna fall down
And when you taste that earth, face in the dirt
Gotta rise up, gotta rise up
And when you're stumbling down, smack on the ground
Sing, "Oh" (oh)
When the daylight blinds, open your eyes
Gotta rise up, you gotta rise up
And when the reaper come calling in the dead of night
Sing, "Oh" (oh)
(Rise up)
Rise up, rise up now (rise up)
To your higher elevation (rise up)
From the fires in the basement
Sing, "Oh" (oh)
(Rise up)
Rise up, rise up now (rise up)
When you're down on the pavement (rise up)
Show the crowd what you're made of
Sing, "Oh" (oh)
(Rise up)
(Hallelujah, life is gonna school ya, yeah)
(Hallelujah, life is gonna school ya, yeah)
It doesn't matter who you are
You can be a rockstar, student, teacher
Junior, senior, loser, genius
You're gonna fall down (every day)
You're gonna fall down (every day)
You're gonna fall down (every day)
Fall down (every day)
Fall down
And when you do, you gotta rise up
(Rise up)
Gotta rise up
Oh (oh)
You gotta rise up
Rise up, rise up now (rise up)
To your higher elevation (rise up)
From the fires in the basement
Sing, "Oh" (oh, you gotta rise up)
Rise up, rise up now (you gotta rise up)
When you're down on the pavement (you gotta rise up)
Show the crowd what you're made of
Sing, "Oh" (oh)
(Rise up)
