Rise Up

SUMMARY DURATION DOWNLOAD
An uplifting and inspirational anthem of a sort. Carpe diem, and all that. Be bold, rise up, and the universe will respond with opportunity. I've done it once before (when I left South Africa for California with just $4000, no contacts, and no clue what was in store for me), so I know. 5:09

	So many friends of mine,
		I've seen them settle down.
	I've seen them give up their dreams.
		I've seen their hearts sink.

		Don't let your dreams slip away.
	Don't ever give up the fight,

	Rise up, rise up!
		Rise up and take a stand.

		on second glace....so rise up.
