Andra Day - Rise Up

Andra Day's voice is simply marvelous, the song 'Rise Up' inspired ~ it doesn't matter what you may get out of the lyrics -or what you may read into them- I doubt anybody can remain untouched by this song ...

Rise Up
Andra Day

You're broken down and 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

And I'll rise up I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up and 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 and I'll do it a thousands times again
For you
For you
For you
For you

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
And move mountains

And I'll rise up I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up and I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you

All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
We will rise
We will rise
We'll rise, oh oh
We'll rise

I'll rise up rise like the day
I'll rise up in spite of the ache
I will rise a thousands times again
And we'll rise up rise like the waves
We'll rise up in spite of the ache
We'll rise up and we'll do it a thousands times again
For you oh oh oh oh oh
For you oh oh oh oh oh
For you oh oh oh oh oh
For you
