About the Song

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

//: C  G  Am  F ://

And I'll rise up, I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up, I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up & 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 & I'll do it a thousand - times again
For you… (4x)

//: C -  / G - / Am - / F - ://

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
We'll take it to its feet & move mountains
