I write a few words someone will sing for me
I write some words and hope for a symphony 
Will they help me rise up? 
Can I ever rise up?

I work endlessly to improve a legacy 
A legacy that I will never see
Will it help me rise up? 
Can I ever rise up? 

Rise up! 
I am my own worst enemy 
Rise up! 
I am the advocate of what's inside of me
Rise up! 
I can try to be more than what I own
Rise up! 
I can reap the garden I have sown 

But can I really rise up? 

I do the things people ask of me 
I accomplish the things just to please 
Will it help me rise up? 
Can I ever rise up? 

Rise up! 
I am my own worst enemy 
Rise up! 
I am the advocate of what's inside of me
Rise up! 
I can try to be more than what I own
Rise up! 
I can reap the garden I have sown 

But can I really rise up? 

Death is the one who inspires me
It keeps me running endlessly 
Will it let me rise up? 
Can I ever rise up?

You, Me and the Cat

By Brian Hendrix

A very upbeat, fun song. It's one of those that turned out way better than the few lines I was playing with when writing it. It's very folksy-country without being too genre-specific either. Probably one of my favorite choruses I've ever written. It's more of a whimsical story, though a lot of people can still probably relate to love moving really fast. The bridge is also my favorite. I think you'll love it.
