Rise Up

Lyrics

Mmm, it's affectin' me, yeah The dream is over We can't get by On just a dream anymore It's time to put our bodies into action We can't win any battles If we won't go to the war It's time to Join hands and rise up Can't you see? We're more and more out of touch Join hands and rise up Welcome to the struggle Now don't give it up C'mon and join hands, baby, rise up C'mon and join hands, baby, rise up Please say that you will But saying that you will Won't make it happen anymore There's far too much work Left to be done The children of the world Need our love to be restored It's time to Join hands and rise up Halfway to the mountaintop Ain't good enough Join hands and rise up It's time to fill our brother's Empty loving cup Join hands, baby, rise up C'mon and join hands, baby, rise up Ooh, it's still affectin' me Mmm, oh-oh-oh-oh I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise up I'm gonna get up off my chair I'm gonna make somebody care I'm gonna rise up, rise up So rise to the occasion And realize that giving Is its own reward Sometimes, we take Our good fortune for granted While we're eaten up inside By our own little wars It's time to Join hands and rise up Can't you see? We're more and more out of touch Join hands and rise up Halfway to the mountaintop Ain't good enough C'mon and join hands, baby, rise up C'mon and join hands, baby, rise up Join hands, baby, rise up C'mon and join hands, baby, rise up Join hands, baby, rise up C'mon and join hands, baby, rise up
