Rise Up

Official Video

Lyrics

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
Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that’s here and now
It’s coming down
So rise up now

When you toil as the day is long
Long after the sun goes down
And your mind, it keeps on racing
After dreams that don’t come around
When you don’t know how to surrender
‘Cause your whole life’s been a fight
When the dark owns you and you can’t break through
‘Cause you haven’t seen the light

Open up your eyes
You’ve got to

And all the lambs roar like lions
And all the prisoners breakin’ their chains
And all the poor find their treasure
‘Cause Heaven is coming this way
