Lyrics
Every morning’s the same I just lay there in bed Cuz turning on the news Really fills me with dread I long for the days when We all used to know Nothing was that bad Instead of a shit-show There’s just so much wrong With the world today It can overwhelm us But as my dad used to say You have to rise up And do what is right You have to rise up Don’t quit without a fight You have to rise up When something is wrong You have to rise up Others will join before long Because good in the end It will always prevail You can count on evil It will always fail Despite how hard it may be You have to rise up Won’t you rise up with me Don’t let politics confuse you It’s not the right vs the left That’s how billionaires blind us To their greed and their theft It’s all just a big distraction It helps to keep them in power We gotta stop fighting each other And come together this hour Deep down we’re the same Search your heart, this is true If you look deep in your soul Then you’ll know what to do You have to rise up And do what is right You have to rise up Don’t quit without a fight You have to rise up When something is wrong You have to rise up Others will join before long Because good in the end It will always prevail You can count on evil It will always fail Despite how hard it may be You have to rise up Won’t you rise up with me When we work together That is how we can win Won’t you open your eyes You know how to begin You have to rise up And do what is right You have to rise up Don’t quit without a fight You have to rise up When something is wrong You have to rise up Others will join before long Because good in the end It will always prevail You can count on evil It will always fail Despite how hard it may be You have to rise up Won’t you rise up with me Yes we will rise up Rise up now and see
