Jessica Heine Rise Up Lyrics

Rise up, silly little bird, flying ain't so difficult or so I have heard,
Though I wouldn't try myself I'd say you're just the right build to take to the sky
And maybe take to the world,
Why don't you rise up?
Her eyes betray something known to me, a fear of unfamiliar a lack of certainty,
Wish I could betray that, make it go away. It only kills when you won't go outside.
What is it you have to be, everything to everyone is nothing.
You do not have to please. They don't want it or expect it.
No, that's just you,
Why don't you, rise up, silly little bird, flying ain't so difficult or so I have heard,
Though I wouldn't try myself I'd say you're just the right build to take to the sky
And maybe take to the world.
Why don't you rise up.
I've done the same thing for so long, hiding from a world that I'm afraid might do me harm.
I feel unasked for, I don't want to intrude in who knows what could happen if I wander.
What darkness waits for me? In my self made cage I've never known it.
How bad can it be? Worse than this life spent not trying?
To Rise up, silly little bird, flying ain't so difficult or so I have heard,
Though I wouldn't try myself I'd say you're just the right build to take to the sky
And maybe take to the world.
Why don't you rise up.
I'm restless, now I know how leaves must feel, always wanting to move but stuck to a tree,
And I am rooted so deep in its soil that I couldn't leave even with somewhere to go.
Rise up, silly little bird, flying ain't so difficult or so I have heard,
Though I wouldn't try myself I'd say you're just the right build to take to the sky
And maybe take to the world.
Why don't you rise up.
Rise Up.
