Rise up [2x]
To make a better place to live
Is that too much to ask?
Are we asking too much for this?
Is it beyond our reach?
Because if it is, then we are nothing but sheep
Being herded to the final slaughterhouse
I will not go down that way
I choose to fight back
I choose to rise, not fall
I choose to live, not die
And I know, I know that what's within me is also within you
Arise
Rise up [2x]
That's why I ask you now to join me
Rise up with me
Rise up on the wings of this slain angel
We'll rebuild on the soul of this little warrior
We will pick up his standard and raise it high
Carry it forward until this city, your city, our city, his city
Is a palace of God
Arise
Rise up
I choose to rise, not fall
I choose to live, not die
And I know, I know that what's within me
Arise
Rise up
