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
