Idina wrote this song for her sister. When they were younger, her sister began auditioning for parts in plays and musicals and people told her she should have her own thing, because the singing was Idina's. And her sister just stopped singing in public, but Idina heard her singing not too long ago and describes her sister's voice as beautiful and hauntingly delicate, and she wrote this song because she felt that she stole her sister's glory from her. And her sister is also going through a lot of tough things, she's single with 2 kids, and it's just really pretty. The lyric translation I found isn't perfect, but it's the only one out there.


Rise up
Rise in the morning
Sing your song in all its glory
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li...

Sing high
Take it to the sky
Sing like the sound of a butterfly
Sing it
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li...

Rise up
Rise in the evening
Stand for the world that you believe in
La Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li...

Sing out
Sing really loud
Sing 'til you're breaking glass
Or you're breaking down
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li

Sing to the world, my sister
Reveal the goddess in you
You have the strength
To blow us all away

Stand there in all our shadows
You are the sun over Africa
What should we all become
If you should lose your faith?

Rise up
Rise in the morning
Sing your song in all its glory
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li...

Sing high
Sing to the sky
Sing like the sound of a butterfly
Singing
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li

I know you won't believe me
But I am humbled by thee
You've overtaken
No matter what they say

Being like a winter tree
Greater without her leaves

Rise up
Rise in the morning
Sing your song in all its glory
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li

Sing high
Sing to the sky
Sing like the sound of a butterfly
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li

Oh, Rise up!
Rise in the evening!
Sail for the world that you believe in!
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li!
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li!

Sing out!
Sing really loud!
Sing 'til you're breaking glass
Or you're breaking down!
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li!
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li!

Oh Ooh Oooh...

Rise up!
Rise in the morning!
Sing your song in all its glory!
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li!

The girls who were there say she was crying so hard at the end of that song. I cried too. It's the best song ever. We all hope she puts it on her next album.
