Rise Up from Smile by Kevin Miso

Oh, oh don’t you fight this feeling
Oh, oh this simple truth, reveal it
Oh, oh now’s the time for you to Rise Up.

This land’s become second-hand to the purposes and the progress of man.
A quick fix is a risky plan when playing it safe now means taking a chance.

But I know out of life comes truth, like out of darkness the light pokes through.
We can turn it around, it’s our choice to choose.
Cause when you’ve got nothing, there’s nothing to lose.

Oh, oh don’t you fight this feeling
Oh, oh this simple truth, reveal it
Oh, oh now’s the time for you to Rise Up.

Well I cannot find myself, the quiet life is somewhere else.
See when these roads show no signs for home, then you must build your own.

So give it to me one time to spread the love.
Give it to me two times to bless those above.
Bring it back three times for the dreams we pursue.
And four for me, for you.

Oh, oh don’t you fight this feeling
Oh, oh this simple truth, reveal it
Oh, oh now’s the time for you to Rise Up.

Oh, oh don’t you fight this feeling
Oh, oh this simple truth, reveal it
Oh, oh now’s the time for you to Rise Up.
