Rise Up

When you see the road ahead

That you've been down before

When you're halfway to nowhere

And you can't pay the toll



You're hanging onto mercy

Withered on the vine

With your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds

And your heart on the line



Open up your eyes...



You've got to rise up, rise up

When this life has got you down

You've got to look up, look up

When you search and nothing's found

My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now

It's coming down

So rise up now.



When you're told that day is over

Long after the sun goes down

And your mind it keeps on racing

At the dreams that don't come 'round



When you don't know how to surrender

Cause your whole life's been a fight

When the dark holds you and you can't break through

Cause you haven't seen the light.



Open up your eyes...



You've got to rise up, rise up

When this life has got you down

You've got to look up, look up

When you search and nothing's found

My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now

It's coming down

So rise up now.

Yeah rise up now,

Oh rise up now.



And all the lambs roar like lions

And all the prisoners breaking their chains

And all the poor find their treasure

Cause heaven is coming this way.

[X2]



Rise up, rise up

When this life has got you down

You've got to look up, look up

When you search and nothing's found

My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now

It's coming down

So rise up now.

Yeah rise up now,

Oh rise up now.
