Rise Up Lyrics - Ultimate Collection - Jimmy Cliff

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 

Youre wallowing in mediocrity 

Living your life in poverty 

We know the system is a fraud 

Thats 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 

Youve 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 wont make you feel that happy 

Living your life in false pretense, it just dont make no sense 

Rise up (oh mama) 

Wake up (oh papa) 

Rebel 

Rise up and seize the time
