Rise

Friends, foes and firewood are gathering in the tenaments tonight While the fast one amongst them brings home food for those too slow For too many years they have lived on these streets And their freedom just a memory as the darkness repeats But somehow everything is turning upside down BRIDGE And they've been sleeping in the subway The only place they call their own CHORUS And eventually they rise, yes they rise And they rise in their own way (Repeat) Their daughter ran away today Didn't have a lot to say They wondered why She comes in twice a week to wash her clothes and watch her mother cry There's too many eyes watching her fmaily home Now the seeds of revolution inside her are sown And somehow everything is turning upside down BRIDGE, CHORUS Her only daughter left her many years ago And still she don't know why She said "Don't you worry mother, you will never see me cry" Yes they rise in their own way(Repeat) And they rise in their own way(Repeat) (Repeat)
