Story Behind The Song
Every year I put on my white board what I want to do better the following year. Last year I wanted to improve everything, so I wrote down three words: RAISE IT UP. I wrote this song on 12/31/2008.

Lyrics
So do you think that when the day is done
And your victory's been won, that it's over?
And do you think that when the mountain has been climbed
That you can stand there passing time until it's all over?
Raise it up! Raise the bar higher
Raise it up! Get up on your feet
Raise it up! Raise it up higher
Raise it up so we can reach
Celebrate. Your best work lies before you
And your loved ones all adore you
Time to rest
Don't hesitate to start down a new road
You will reap what you dare sew on your quest
Raise it up! Raise the bar higher
Raise it up! Get up on your feet
Raise it up! Raise it up higher
Raise it up so we can reach
Reach past your dreams, reach past the sky
Reach past your fears, it's time to rise!
