Rize Up and Stand amongst the strong and brave that walk the earth Rize Up, Unite within this movement today Rize and stand high above the ruinings of babylon Rize Up for in these times you've got to know where you stand.
And every time they try to tell us they're believing in peace, still they go to war So don't get lost in their battles when you know that Truth gonna be your best friend
Sooner or later the time must arrive To open your hearts now and open your minds The hotter the fire, the brighter our flame Never trust a system that's got you in a ball and chain
CHORUS Rize Up, Get Up, Rize Up, right away! Rize Up, Get Up, Rize Up, right away! Rize Up, Get Up, Rize Up, right away! Rize Up, Get Up, Rize Up now!
VERSE Rize Up because you love the Truth and understand it's worth Rize Up no matter what the Preacher may say Rize and Stand high above the tricks of modern slavery Rize Up cause if you can't, we're not gonna change a ting!
Yeah, and it really makes me wonder However did we let this go on for so long Exploit the Earth until the very end That's how it happens when control stays with dem greedy men
The concrete jungle is a crazy space So don't forget your roots now, don't forget your place If we can't change humanity may fall down So get on up, gather round now, we're calling you out!
CHORUS
Sooner or later the time must arrive To open your heart now and open your minds The hotter the fire, the brighter our flame Never trust a system that's got you in a ball and chain
