I chanced into Ruthie Foster's music - what good fortune! My wife and I have been supporting shelters for abused women and their children for many years. Ruthie, and the plight of countless women, inspired this song.

Lyrics

RISE UP

V1
Some rules should never be broken
The same can be said of promises and hearts
How dare you crush my crystal love
When you could have set me free
Instead what a mess you left a shattered pile of debris
I didn't fall off the wall you pushed me

CH1
I'm gonna Rise Up Rise Up
Mold my anger and my fire into a burning passion for life
You can drift down your low road so smug so blind
I choose the high road no footsteps for me I'm gonna fly
Rise Up yeah Rise Up

V2
It's so easy to crave retribution
To imagine his or her just deserts
What we all need is more forgiveness
I gotta thank you for moving on
Pick me up shake off the dust to tell you the truth I'm glad you're gone
I didn't know my soul was so strong

CH2
I'm gonna Rise Up Rise Up
Mold my anger and my fire into a burning passion for life
You can drift down your low road so smug so blind
I choose the high road no footsteps for me I'm gonna fly
Rise Up yeah Rise Up

BR
I'm gonna jump on that wall run on it no fear at all
Nothing can stop me no one just watch me a woman who's phenomenal
What did you expect I call it the Ruthie Foster effect

CH3 - VARIATION
I'm gonna Rise Up Rise Up
Mold my anger and my fire into a burning passion for life
I choose the high road no footsteps for me
Rise Up Rise Up fly
Rise Up Rise Up fly
Rise Up Rise Up fly
