[Verse 1]
"Hold on" my mother said, don’t give up on this.
"Go on" my lover said, you were meant for this.
This is all I have, this is all I know, I could never let it go,
All my life it’s filled me up with hope, I won’t quit.
This is my purpose and even through the struggles
And hard times it’s fucking worth it.

[Chorus]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up!
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it!
You can’t just follow, follow, follow,
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives.
No!

[Verse 2]
It’s never easy to get what you want.
Step up your drive, throw doubt aside
When you fight for what you love.
Your dreams are shot and there’s a chance to give up,
Don’t give up, show your guts,
Show them what you’re made of.
Overwhelmed by doubt, life’s currents wore me down,
Losing what I need found,
I’m adrift, out of it, alone among the crowd.

[Chorus]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up!
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it!
You can’t just follow, follow, follow,
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives.
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up!
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it!
You can’t just follow, follow, follow,
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives.
No!

[Bridge]
"Hold on" my mother said, don’t give up on this.
"Go on" my lover said, you were meant for this.
"Hold on" my mother said, don’t give up on this.
"Go on" my lover said, you were meant for this.

[Outro]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up!
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it!
You can’t just follow, follow, follow,
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives.
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up!
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it!
You can’t just follow, follow, follow,
Greatness can’t arise through typical lives.
