Rise Up

Rise Up Your time is up at 25 Till then you wear your youth with pride From then, get set, you can't be late Cause you ain't nothing, without a mate Women are free that's what they say But what we're told at the end of the day Gotta tick that box, man, job, kids we made the cut Can't go turning forty, on your own, stuck in a rut We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall Shout out for all we're worth Cause we gotta long way to go and the road is slow To gain equality on this earth We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall Cry out against our past Cause we gotta hell of a fight to make things right We gotta make the world unite And take what's ours at last Got that female power For now we have it all Just gotta slave all day all night To prove that we can't fall No longer chained to the kitchen stove We're free at last, we made it How come we feel on the edge of tears Day by day, burned out and faded Until we all wake up and see that things are far from fair White men rule the world, and we're still judged by the colour of our hair Just gotta even out the load, make sure that you do your part Cause for this revolution, we need every heart We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall Shout out for all we're worth Cause we gotta long way to go and the road is slow To gain equality on this earth We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall Cry out against our past Cause we gotta hell of a fight to make things right We gotta make the world unite And take what's ours at last
