Jimmy Cliff - Rise Up lyrics

rate me

Rise up

You got your destiny to fulfill

And you welcome which what you will

So no more sitting on the fence

Living your life in false pretense

Yeah

Rise and shine

Give the most of the Glory

Rise and shine

Let the world know your story

Rise up, Rebel

Rise up, Wake up

Rise up, Wake up, Get up and seize the time

You're wallowing in mediocrity

Living your life in poverty

We know the system is a fraud

That's why they make your life so hard

Rise and shine

Give the most of the Glory

Rise and shine

Let the world know your story

Rise up, Rebel

Rise up, Wake up

Rise up, Get up, Stand up and seize the time

You've got your life to complete

And there will be no retreat

So for what on to progression

Getting complete satisfaction

Yeah

Rise and shine

Give the most of the Glory

Rise and shine

Let the world know your story

Rise up, Rebel

Rise up, Wake up

Rise up, Wake up, Stand up and seize the time

Rise up (oh my brother)

Wake up (oh my sister)

Rebel

Living your life in poverty won't make you feel that happy

Living your life in false pretense, it just don't make no sense

Rise up (oh mama)

Wake up (oh papa)

Rebel

Rise up and seize the time
