Question about some parts of this YouTube video (inspiring video)

What did the man say at 3:06 in this inspiring YouTube video?


It sounds like:
"Millions are waking up out of their sleep, seeing/saying our home being taken right up under our feet."

If it's correct, what does lt mean "being taken right up under our feet"?
  

Top answer

It does sound like "seeing our home being taken right up under our feet". I would guess that the meaning is supposed to be similar to "taken right from under our feet", which refers to the removal of something that supports us, or that we depend on. It could be that he should have said "from" but slightly mixed up his words.
