Lyrics

Rise

Lift the veil that blinds you
Tear down the ruler?s gate
Shout out to the heavens
Feel the sun reverberate
The sky belongs to painters
The stars belong to poets
Earth belongs to dreamers, and you know it
So get on up, get on up, and rise

We were born to dance
We were born to sing
We are born with the power
To rise one day like towers
Be anyone you want to be
Do anything you want to do
Make peace with your enemy
?Cause he?s your brother too
Get on up, get on up, and rise

Presidents and preachers
Soldiers and believers
We got to make a world that holds all the people
The time it has come
To question what you?re told
The time it has come
To rise up and take control
Cause our love will save the world and that is all
I said our love will save the world and that is all

So get on up get on up
An see yourself as I see you
So get on up get on up
You should see the light burn in your heart
So get on up get on up
Don?t waste what the good Lord gave you
So get on up get on up
And rise
