Waking up from believing I have nowhere else to go Holding on to the feeling Of what I already know
No one told me the rules No one showed me the scheme But I've always played to win Time will tell what tomorrow's decision Where I start or where I begin
I'm getting closer To higher ground
So rise up for a new day Rise up before you go away Rise up for a new day It goes on and on and on You'd better rise up Rise up for a new day You'd better rise up Rise up for a new day
Taking back what was always mine Cause you can't have my dignity Breaking down all the battle lines And it's time we both agree
We're getting closer To higher ground
So rise up for a new day Rise up before you go away Rise up for a new day It goes on and on and on Rise up for a new day You'd better rise up
