Rise Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the coastline
Thinking of every choice I've made
To lead me here right now
Standing on solid ground
And I've been hiding in the shadows
Wondering if I'm on the right road
Some place I've never been
Is this how it all begins?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh
'Cause I've got my best suit on and I'm ready
I've got my sleeves rolled up and I'll be on my way
While my heart's thumping, boom-boom, boom-boom

[Chorus]
You're gonna see me rise
Oh, and rise, rise, rise, rise

[Verse 2]
For every valley, there's a mountain
For every answer, there's a new question
Is it worth all this?
I'm pushing myself to the edge
'Cause we're all looking for a reason
Find a shelter from the storm within
Just keep your eyes ahead
And dust yourself off again
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh
'Cause I've got my best suit on and I'm ready
I've got my sleeves rolled up and I'll be on my way
While my heart's thumping, boom-boom, boom-boom

[Chorus]
You're gonna see me rise
Oh, and rise, rise, rise, rise

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, 'cause I've got my best suit on and I'm ready
I've got my sleeves rolled up and I'll be on my way
While my heart's thumping, boom-boom, boom-boom

[Bridge]
You're gonna see me rise
You're gonna see me rise
Not how you fall back down
But how you get back up
Before you hit the ground

[Chorus]
You're gonna see me rise
Oh, rise, rise, oh rise, yeah
[Outro]
You're gonna see me rise
See me rise
See me rise
You're gonna see me rise
You're gonna see me rise
See me rise (Mm-mm)
See me rise
You're gonna see me rise

What did Calum Scott say about "Rise"?
Genius Answer

“Rise” celebrates overcoming, defeating the odds, and prevailing despite the obstacles or the knock-backs you face along the way. I wrote “Rise” during lockdown at a time when I was really down on myself. All I can hope for this song is that wherever you are, whatever your circumstances, it brings you strength, it puts its arm around you and encourages you to not let anything hold you back and to chase your dreams.
