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 UPV1Some rules should never be brokenThe same can be said of promises and heartsHow dare you crush my crystal loveWhen you could have set me freeInstead what a mess you left a shattered pile of debrisI didn't fall off the wall you pushed meCH1I'm gonna Rise Up Rise UpMold my anger and my fire into a burning passion for lifeYou can drift down your low road so smug so blindI choose the high road no footsteps for me I'm gonna flyRise Up yeah Rise UpV2It's so easy to crave retributionTo imagine his or her just desertsWhat we all need is more forgivenessI gotta thank you for moving onPick me up shake off the dust to tell you the truth I'm glad you're goneI didn't know my soul was so strongCH2I'm gonna Rise Up Rise UpMold my anger and my fire into a burning passion for lifeYou can drift down your low road so smug so blindI choose the high road no footsteps for me I'm gonna flyRise Up yeah Rise UpBRI'm gonna jump on that wall run on it no fear at allNothing can stop me no one just watch me a woman who's phenomenalWhat did you expect I call it the Ruthie Foster effectCH3 - VARIATIONI'm gonna Rise Up Rise UpMold my anger and my fire into a burning passion for lifeI choose the high road no footsteps for meRise Up Rise Up flyRise Up Rise Up flyRise Up Rise Up fly(© Songwriters: Roy Williams / Karen Gregory)
