Broken souls on the city streets

Fall apart while the city sleeps

Fadin' hearts of a generation

Tired eyes of a desperate nation

Blank stares and empty grins

When did we let darkness in?

It's time to light it up again

Let the fire inside of me take me over

Brighter for all to see as the world grows colder

Find me on my knees and take me higher

Out of the wasted life

I will, I will rise

When light shines on hopeless men

We find the strength to hope again

Every time that freedom finds us

Broken bones and scars remind us

Seethin' with bloodshot eyes

Breathin' just to survive

It's time to bring us back to life

Let the fire inside of me take me over

Brighter for all to see as the world grows colder

Find me on my knees and take me higher

Out of the wasted life

I will, I will rise

Build me up and burn me down, take me over

You're everythin' that I need now

Let the fire inside of me take me over

Brighter for all to see as the world grows colder

Let the fire inside of me take me over

Brighter for all to see as the world grows colder

Find me on my knees and take me higher

Out of the wasted life

I will, I will rise

I will rise
