Woke up feeling discouraged

So many obstacles stood in the way

Was at my lowest point

Didn’t know which way I should turn

Got down on my knees and said a prayer

Asking God for his mercy

And in his mercy

He’ll see me through

I’m gonna rise up

Rise up singing

No one can take my joy from me

I’m gonna rise up

Rise up believing

That things are going to change

I’m gonna rise up

Rise up knowing

That all will be okay

I’m gonna rise up

I’m gonna rise up

I’m gonna rise up

This thing called life isn’t easy

So many roads to cross

I made a few mistakes along the way

Seen so many things in my experience

Made me see how truly blessed I am

Although life is a constant struggle

And I won’t stop and I can’t stop

Believing things will turn out fine

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

As long as I can breath

I won’t stop living

As long as I have courage

I won’t stop loving

As long as I have determination

I’ll try and try again

As long as I have faith

I believe I’m going to make it
