Chorus:

We've got to rise up

And fly like eagles

Rise up

Through the sky

We've got to rise up

Over higher mountains

Rise up, rise up



(Rise up)

Rise up

C'mon, c'mon and rise up



Everybody's come a long long way such a long way, to be here today

We've got it hard, give it all

We've been knocking on wood with our backs to the wall



We've been working every day and night

Waiting for the chance, for the day to arrive

And now we've all got something to prove

Win or lose there's only one thing to do



Chorus



It's time to sweat, it's finally here

In each and every heart there's a pounding beat

To do it wrong, to do it right

Each of us has put up, one hell of a fight



And as we face the final test

All that we can do is to do our best

And as we make it, time stands still

To get to the top, you've got to give all you've got



Chorus



Shine your light and let 'em see everything you want to be

Shine your light and let them know you will never let it go



We've been working every day and night

Waiting for the chance, for the day to arrive

And now we've all got something to prove

Win or lose there's only one thing to do



Chorus x 3



(Rise up)

RISE UP!
