Rise

Rise

Up at the stars, we stare away
Up at our dreams, we reach as far as our hands go
United we stand and divided we fall
Chasing our sorrows to the end as we talk about
Those times that we played
Our games in the sun
Our songs in the field
Our perfect words reaching out
To a future of doubt and disbelief

Heaven knows
We stand our ground against the pain
Of a million reasons we can’t ever succeed
Our bodies know
How to tell of the stories
Where we won against the howls of flesh
Our hearts sing
For the glorious end
For the tears of defeat
When we thought we were the one for them

Hold on to that pencil
Hum a song into hope
Start writing your own mind
And rise up to tell the world
All the reasons that you’re here
Alive and kicking ass!

Ink your soul into the canvass of eternity
Sing your way up to the top of the earth
Write a story that will make you live forever
And when you’re famous, don’t forget the people you owe most of all

Rise up
To a seven billion member game of a lifetime
Act out
Make sure you don’t leave without a big, bright, bang
Grab the spotlight. Take control.
It’s your time to kill it. Be brave. Be bold!

We are the artists of a new generation
The kings and queens to no compare
We are the sickest dreamers of our nation
Raise your hands we’re here to share
