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 rightÂ
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 takeÂ
one with a bright tomorrow and one filled with greed and hate
turn your anger into action it's hard but we must tryÂ
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 hateÂ
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!
