get back up
Stand after falling
Get back up means to rise again after falling or being knocked down, literally or figuratively.
The phrase captures physical recovery—standing after a fall—but more often describes resilience: resuming effort after failure, rejection, or hardship.
Every time life knocks you down, you get back up.
The emphasis falls on persistence rather than the original standing.
