You can laugh about it
Something's in the air
You can cry about it
No one really cares
No, nobody sees it
You can sing about it
Sing it in a prayer
You can scream about it
Hands up in the air
No, you're not s'posed to feel it
But now, now that we've seen it
[Chorus:]
Rise up, right where they pushed you down
Don't let nobody ever turn you 'round
Try, try to believe it
All the caring and hard work and trouble
Is worth the chance
You can talk about it
It was always there
Ain't no doubt about it
It ain't always fair
So where do we take it from here?
When life is what we make it
[Chorus:]
Rise up, right where they pushed you down
Don't let nobody ever turn you 'round
Try, try to believe it
All the caring and hard work and trouble
Is worth the chance
Stand up while you still can
Rise up, it's worth a chance
Rise up
