Lyrics

Ohh... Comin' up, comin' up, comin' up now
What you doing?
What you waiting for?
Ohh, it's time to push it, break it, rush it
Don't ever let life pass you by

All I know is you don't want to be part of the crowd
Realize yourself
You say it but don't feel it
What you're sayin' has no meanin'
Don't hide your soul
For real, I'm for real
Come on

Up, I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want, do you want
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you up

Please, please
No questions, no answers
No more runnin' around in circles
Are you in, are you out?
Do you know your way out?
Let me take you up, into sky
For real, I'm for real
Come on

Up, I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want, do you want
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you up

I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want, do you want
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you!

Come on
Come on
Risin' up now, risin' up now...
