No compromising with your life
There is only one who writes the ending
and the script to the Rí Rá
Uprising, you listen to no one but yourself
Utilising, you take each second by the throat
Now we rise over them all
Over words that say you're no one
Take each day and live it like the last
Burn to the ground each tie to the past
Don't listen now to the turn of their lies
From your first breath you were born to rise
Rising high, over the hill
Over fields, over the sea
Rising high they can't bring you down
as you soar over treacherous ground
Uprising, there is no way that they'll keep us down
They'll watch us burning
Watch us thrive on the rí rá
There is no way you'll keep us down
'cause we thrive on the rí rá
There is only one who writes the ending
and the script to the Rí Rá
Utilising, you take each second by the throat
Over words that say you're no one
Take each day and live it like the last
Burn to the ground each tie to the past
From your first breath you were born to rise
Rising high, over the hill
Over fields, over the sea
as you soar over treacherous ground
They'll watch us burning
Watch us thrive on the rí rá
'cause we thrive on the rí rá

'Rí Rá' means 'uproar'. The violin adds an important dynamic to this song, filling it with the energy befitting an uproar.
This song is beautiful, really. "over words that say you're no one" - SOO good. Violin is god-awesome.
I think it's about standing up for yourself and what you believe in :) Defying all the people that want to run you into the ground, and... believing that you can do it, because you've got the 'ri ra' to depend on, as if it's a power of its own...
