Rise Up

Rise up, my friend, and seize the day,

For life is short, don't let it slip away.

You have the power to make a change,

To chart your course and rearrange

The path that lies ahead of you,

And all the wondrous things you can do.

Rise up, and face your fears head on,

For they cannot hold you back for long.

Believe in yourself, and you will find,

That anything is possible, if you set your mind

To reaching for the stars, and chasing your dreams,

For life is richer than it seems.

Rise up, and be the change you wish to see,

For there is no one else who can be

The person you were meant to be,

With all the courage and tenacity

To overcome the obstacles in your way,

And make the most of every day.

So rise up, my friend, and take your place,

In this world full of wonder and grace.

Let your light shine bright, for all to see,

And let your spirit soar, wild and free.
