Rising Up

He told me all he wants is to be recognized
Having a vision isn’t about a set of eyes
All his life he’s been running around bending lies
Had no car in his possession
But he had the drive
Ever since he was a kid
He had a different mind
He saw that he ain’t one of us
A different kind
And swear to god
I know he fucking tried
But this twisted life
Left him so terrified
I told him keep on doing
What it is you love
Even though the whole world
Seems like it’s acting up
I know that nothing ever really
Feels enough
And all the happy moments
Don’t feel real enough
Trust me kid
You really have the Midas Touch
Put your foot on the gas
Let go of the clutch
And put your foot on the ground
Let go of the crutch
We don’t need no one
All we really have is us
I’ll do it all, do it all
Till it’s not enough
We’ll never fall, never fall
I feel it rising up!
You don’t really gotta be like no one else
The way that we are treated is just so unfair
Sometimes it really feels like there is no one left
Or maybe you’re just stronger
Now that no one cares
Let the hate become
The fuel in you
You know what you got
There’s no fooling you
They think they know it all
So they’re schooling you
They’ve been taking their shots
But you’re bulletproof
And you gotta back up
When the rain’s gone
Cuz when you brainstorm
It’s like a hailstorm
And when you learn to love
That’s when the chains form
What you wanna tell yourself
When today’s gone?
Were you on the right?
Were you on the wrong?
When you felt it all
Did you put it in a song?
What is it you need?
What is it you want?
Do you feel complete
When the crowd is gone?
I’ll do it all, do it all
Till it’s not enough
We’ll never fall, never fall
I feel it rising up!
