lyrics

Rise

When troubles got you cornered, when there’s no more way out. What are you going to do, what’s the next step in life? Don’t make it your last step. You should choose wisely. Cause you have just seconds, there is no second chance. It all comes back to a primal stage of mind. Unchanged by the trial of time. To fight flight or freeze. Fight! Flight! Freeze! Overcoming. All within the mind. Skyscrapers. We will rise! I will say this one time, and one time only. There is a choice to make, it’s all up to you. You can flee, you can freeze. To survive, face everything and RISE! You’ll be the best you can be. Don’t doubt yourself, set yourself free. You acted, this is my response. I’m standing with my head up high. Others might choose different. That doesn’t make you go away. Show no fear, make the fight yours. You have to stand up and rise. Face difficulties, destroy resistance. You will look back with pride. Feel the sun shine on your face. For it is the only choice to make. There are no stories of those who flee, only those who rise are written down. Make the story yours now, write history with your own hands. Take the sword, keep your dignity. Scream with me: THIS IS MY TIME! My time to claim the spotlight. Fear no longer holds me back. I will climb the tallest of stairs. You will remember me. Like skyscrapers facing gravity, rise and look back with pride.
