Lyrics:
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you, so we gon' walk it out
And move mountains
We gon' walk it out
And move mountains

And I'll rise up, I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up, I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up, high like the waves
I'll rise up in spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again

For you
For you
For you
For you

When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
Bring it to its feet
And move mountains

And I'll rise up, I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up, I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again

For you
For you
For you
For you

All we need, all we need is hope
And for that, we have each other
And for that, we have each other, and (We will rise)
We will rise, we will rise (We will rise)
We'll rise, oh-oh-ooh-oh (We will rise)
We'll rise

I'll rise up, rise like the day
I'll rise up in spite of the ache
I will rise a thousands times again
And we'll rise up, high like the waves
We'll rise up in spite of the ache
We'll rise up (Rise up)
And we'll do it a thousands times again

For you
For you
For you
For you
For you

Fighting the spread of lung cancer that has metastasized to my brain. Only 69 and six years ago I promised my children that I would fight to live but now it is getting harder. This song inspires me.

[JoyLeuthard]

I'm nearly 72 years young. I took care of my husband for nearly six years after he had a falling accident and was unable to walk. I just lost him december 23 from a severe infection. Lost my only sister 3 months prior. I wish I had heard this song earlier. It's gorgeous and so inspiring. God has been with me throughout this time.And I am grateful for His presence in my life. I just wish I could have done more for my husband.

[elisangelaalves]

I rised up when my little son died. My life was broke and I losted the my soul... God held me and since that moment I rise up every day

Thank YOU SO MUCH FOR SINGING THIS SONG WHEN YOU DID!! My little brother was dying of cancer he found it hard for me to dress him and see his body daily as he was doing home hospice. He tensed up every morning me and my mom cleaned and dressed him. I was sick also with migraines almost daily from being upset he was dying and had 5 kids . I played this song every morning we dressed him. It made all the difference to all three of us . He relaxed and fell in love with the song. His last words were don't forget our song. You didn't have the narration at the start like you do now, but I felt all of that the day God gave me this song. It was the day the cancer doctor told my brother we can't help you anymore you shouldn't even be here so you must go to hospice today until you pass! My brother said I'm going home and my sister will help me. I didn't have to say anything because he knew there was no other place i'd be. When we got in the car this song was playing and tears rolled down my face because i knew God had me like I had my brother. for that I'm forever
.

The last 3 years I've been to hell and back. Illness, fire, lost my wife to cancer after 31 years of marriage. I'm alone in an empty house, but by the Grace of God, I'm still here and I rise up every morning and keep going.

When my father left us and went with another woman. My mother had to struggle to work to take care of us seven children. My mother could not read or write since she grown-up being poor among the poor but she push as all her children to go to school to learn to read and learn to write...she's now 83 years old and suffered a severe stroke in 2006. As the eldest son I had to take care of her since then and never gave up to " Rise up"..in returned to all her hardship, love and dedication. I have to take care of her until her last breath...she is the only mom that I will cherish for the rest of my life and grateful that God gave her to us as our mother! 😔😊❤

My husband recently passed away 1 year after being diagnosed with ALS/ Lou Gehrig's Disease. It is a brutal disease. This song gave me strength then and it continues to now that he is gone. But he will never be done because I carry him in my heart every day. Taking care of him will always be my greatest honor. Thank you for this inspirational song! You are an angel walking amongst us, lifting us up.

I could not have found a more appropriate son to dedicate to my dying husband. As I care for you daily and watch you wither away, as I watch the light you once had in your eyes disappear, I think to myself I would never change a moment of our life, our love. I feel the lyrics and beauty of this anthem each and every moment of your fight. I would do anything just to ease you pain and fear, to brin you stenth and hope. I love you now and forever, Rise up baby.

My daughter and I were in a bad car accident in July 2016. My daughter, who was 8 weeks at the time, suffered no injuries (thank God!) and I broke my neck which left me paralyzed from my neck down. I’m unable to move my hands or legs and have to use a power wheelchair to get around. There are many days when I feel i I don’t want to go on and want to give up. This song definitely helps me get through many of those days and helps me to keep pushing.

My Sister passed away from cancer on 8/2/2020. The first time I heard this song was today 11/2/2020. I couldn’t stop crying thinking about her how she kept fighting until her last breath. Rise up Shanda Monique Sheffield ❤️❤️❤️

I personally feel like this song should become an international anthem considering our fight against caronavirus... May God bless everyone.
