Woke up tired but I'm still in the race
Setbacks teach me, they ain't no disgrace
Every closed door is a lesson I keep
Plant in the concrete and watch how I grow deep
Hands to the sky 'cause I came from the ground
Turn all that silence into a sound
They counted me out, I just counted to one
Look at me now, I'm not nearly done
Rise up, rise up, no matter how they doubt
Rise up, rise up, that's what it's all about
Stumble seven times, get up on the eight
Rise up, rise up, we don't hesitate
Small steps, still steps, every one of them counts
Patience is a muscle and I'm flexing the amount
Give a little light to the next one in line
We all shining brighter when we let each other shine
Rise up, rise up, no matter how they doubt
Rise up, rise up, that's what it's all about
Stumble seven times, get up on the eight
Rise up, rise up, we don't hesitate
