Avey Grouws Band - Rise Up

Well listen all my children

it's time to gather round

feel the suffering of your mothers and make a mighty sound and rise up

you know we gotta rise up

We're gonna have to come together if we're gonna make things right 

give a spark to each candle and drive the darkness from the light and rise up

Cuz were standing at the crossroads at the paths that we can take 

one with a bright tomorrow and one filled with greed and hate

turn your anger into action it's hard but we must try 

cuz when the babies moan and the old men cry we gotta rise up

Well hear the desperate children they're moving to the street

weary steps they come together and they march a mighty beat as they rise up

hear our children rise up

Cuz we're standing at the crossroads at the paths we can take

One with a bright tomorrow and one filled with greed and hate 

turn your anger into action it's hard but we gotta try

cuz when the babies moan and the old men cry we gotta rise up

So gather all my children the time to move is here let love bring us together and wipe away our tears

You can make better day and we'll be there by your side

cuz when the babies moan and the old men cry

we gotta rise up!
