They said I wouldn't make it, now look where I stand
Built it brick by brick with my own two hands
Every no was fuel, every door was a test
Stayed up all night while the world got rest
Rise up, rise up
Never gonna give it up
Hands high, touch the sky
Rise up, rise up
To the kid in the back with the dream in his chest
Keep your head up, don't settle for less
Mountains look tall till you start to climb
One step, one verse, one day at a time
Rise up, rise up
Never gonna give it up
Hands high, touch the sky
Rise up, rise up
