Rise

Lyrics

[Verse 1: John Cooper & Jen Ledger] All I see is shattered pieces I can't keep it hidden like a secret I can't look away From all this pain in a world we made Every day you need a bulletproof vest To save yourself from what you could never guess Am I safe today When I step outside in the wars we wage? [Pre-Chorus: John Cooper] Our future's here and now Here comes the countdown [Chorus: John Cooper] Sound it off, this is the call Rise in revolution It's our time to change it all Rise in revolution Unite and fight to make a better life Everybody, one for all Sound off, this is the call Tonight, we rise [Post-Chorus: John Cooper] (Rise) Tonight, we rise (Rise) Tonight, we rise [Verse 2: John Cooper & Jen Ledger] Like a hand grenade thrown in a hurricane Spinnin' in chaos tryin' to escape the flame Yesterday is gone Faster than the blast of a car bomb And when the scars heal, the pain passes As hope burns, we rise from the ashes Darkness fades away And the light shines on a brave new day [Pre-Chorus: John Cooper] Our future's here and now Here comes the countdown [Chorus: John Cooper] Sound it off, this is the call Rise in revolution It's our time to change it all Rise in revolution Unite and fight to make a better life Everybody, one for all Sound off, this is the call Tonight, we rise [Post-Chorus: John Cooper] (Rise) Tonight, we rise (Rise) Tonight, we rise [Bridge: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both] In a world gone mad, in a place so sad Sometimes it's crazy Crazy to fight for what you believe But you can't give up (No) If you wanna keep what you love (Keep what you love) Keep what you love (Keep what you love) Keep what you love Never give up, no [Interlude] Rise (Rise in revolution) Rise (Rise in revolution) Everybody, one for all Sound off, this is the call Rise like we're alive Tonight, we rise (Rise) Make a better life Tonight, we rise (Rise) Rise, rise in revolution Rise, rise, rise in revolution Rise [Interlude] [Phone rings] [Operator] 911? [Woman] There's a guy here with a gun [Operator] Ma'am, ma'am? [Woman] Kids, get under the table! Kids, get under the table! [Outro] [News reporter] We're getting new reports from all around the globe, showing the highest unemployment rates since the end of World War II. Many are losing their jobs, their homes, and in many cases, their hope [Police officer] Unit 6-3-1-3, is dispatch possible? 10-16. Domestic disturbance in progress at Foxhill and Circle North. Proceeding 10-23, over [Upset parent] You're such a failure! What's wrong with you? You're worthless! You can't do anything right! I wish you had never been born!
