Rising Up

from I Think I Am by Colette O'Connor

/

about

Originally recorded at WERS Radio Live Studio at Emerson College, Boston, for use in their Boston Marathon/ Boston Strong fundraiser CD, "Musicians for Boston Strong", this upbeat, uplifting song inspires that dig down deep, get up and go spirit.

lyrics

Halfway back from where I started
Halfway down that worn out track
Half a mind don't always make it
Halfway home and fading fast.
Threw away those broken pieces
keeping me weighed down.
Getting mind and soul to face that
Half a heart can never make it.
Better be rising, rising, rising, rising up;
Rising, rising, rising, rising up
Rising, rising, rising; rising up now.
Every day a million choices;
every choice another chance
Bringing all I have to face that
at this point I have to make it.
Better be rising, rising, rising, rising up;
Rising, rising, rising, rising up
Rising, rising, rising; rising up now.
If I go it alone,
strong and on my own
Half a lie-half a chance;
halfway back again but fading fast.
Every day a million choices;
every choice another chance
Got to raise a host of voices
so we all can share the dance.
I've got to be rising,
you want to be rising
we need to be rising
Rising up
Rising, rising, rising, rising up
Rising, rising, rising; ...rising up now.
