[Verse 1] Look up to the sky, sun beats on your face Get off of your knees, you’re no disgrace Stand tall, stand proud, let your heart beat true Fight hard, fight back, there is nothing to lose The pain is temporary, it’s gonna fade Like your bruises and cuts, it’s just a masquerade Don’t hide in the crowd, stand for them all They’ll give their loyalty til the day you fall [Pre Chorus] The beast awakens from its slumber Your oppressors still asleep They believe you are just a number Until it begins to multiply- [Chorus] Rise Up Swallow your fear Rise Up And gather everything that you hold so dear Rise Up Resist the oppression Rise Up Make freedom your everlasting obsession (RISE UP!) (RISE UP!) RISE UP! And take back your life… (Oh yeah!) [Verse 2] So rise up people and take the power back Should never have been taken, and that’s a fact The message is clear so go and be bolder You have the eye, the eye of the beholder Grit your teeth and clench your fists Break the shackles and free your wrists Gather your militia and be that girl Raise the colours let the flag unfurl [Pre Chorus] The army has risen, it’s at the gates The enemy drunk on power Fat cats facing their manufactured fate Now the people did unite- [Chorus] Rise Up Swallow your fear Rise Up And gather everything that you hold so dear Rise Up Resist the oppression Rise Up Make freedom your everlasting obsession (RISE UP!) (RISE UP!) RISE UP! And take back your life… Yeah, yeah [Bridge] Harmony thrives without class divides The haves and have nots you cant decide Accept who you are, but never be beaten Rise up and show the world your success [Chorus] Rise Up Swallow your fear Rise Up And gather everything that you hold so dear Rise Up Resist the oppression Rise Up- Make freedom your everlasting obsession (RISE UP!) (RISE UP!) RISE UP! And take back your life… [Outro] Rise up Rise Up Rise up and take back your life
