Times like this when I am low down and
Dealing with what life is dishing out words cut so deep
Need faith to take a leap oh

Everything I knew suddenly bye bye 
Living in a new world pushing me to try try and
Make sense of it all gotta pick myself up
Where I belong

Chorus
Gonna rise up, rise up, rise up, gonna rise up mmm gonna rise up

Sea of a thousand no’s and maybe one yes all part of the business
I guess that’s just how it goes telling you now this I know
Gonna turn bad into good live my life (as I should)
Like there’s no tomorrow step out on faith here I go

Chorus
Gonna rise up (phoenix from the ashes)
Rise up (no more defenseless)
Rise up (oo be my witness) mmm gonna rise up

Didn’t come all this way just to fail
Even when I’m told that ship has sailed oh it sailed
No one can break my spirit it won’t be confined
Nothing no no nothing can change my mind no

Chorus
Rise up rise up rise up
Rise up (phoenix from the ashes)
Rise up (no more defenseless)
Rise up (oo be my witness) mmm gonna rise up
