Rise Up

The dream is all over
You can't get by on just a dream anymore
It's time to put our bodies into action
We can't win any battles if we won't go to the war

It's time to join hands and rise up
Can't you see we're more and more out of touch
Join hands and rise up
Welcome to the struggle, now don't give it up

(Come on and join hands, people, rise up)
Oh-oh, yeah
(Come on and join hands, people, rise up)

Please say that you will
Saying that you will won't make it happen anymore
There's far too much work left to be done
The children of the world need our love to be restored

It's time to join hands and rise up
Halfway to the mountain top ain't good enough
Join hands and rise up
It's time to fill our brother's empty loving cup

(Come on and join hands, people, rise up)
Rise up
(Come on and join hands, people, rise up)
Rise up

Oh-oh-oh, rise up
Rise up, people

Hey!
Come on, people!
Rise up!

(Join hands, people, rise up)
(Come on and join hands, people, rise up)
Oh-oh, rise up

So rise to the occasion
And realize that giving is it's own reward
'Cause sometimes we take good fortune for granted
While we're eaten up inside by our own little wars

It's time to join hands and rise up
Can't you see we're more and more out of touch
Join hands and rise up
Halfway to the mountain top ain't good enough

Come on and join hands and rise up
Can't you see we're more and more out of touch
Join hands and rise up
It's time to fill our brother's empty loving cup

(Come on and join hands, people, rise up)
Come on, brothers and sisters
(Come on and join hands, people, rise up)
(Join, join, join, join, join)

Come on, people
Come on, people
Rise up, yeah

I'm gonna get up off my chair
And gonna make somebody care
I'm gonna rise up, rise up
People, get up off your chair
And make somebody care
Come on, rise up, rise up, yeah...
