Rise Up Lyrics

In the midst of unseen terror

Brought on by human error

We examine our misery

Through the study of history

But it seems that we're not learning

While the world is slowly burning

The youth look for salvation

The voice of a generation

Come on

Well allow me to start

Before we fall apart

Cause it's not really new

Being lied to

I'm not waiting for the world to end

I'm not waiting for a sign

And I'm not going to pretend

Everything will be fine

Cause I've had enough

My best years were rough

It's time to wise up

It's time to rise up

Leaders unprepared

They should be running scared

From the view where I stand

They got blood on their hands

They called us entitled

Let's refuse to be idle

Let these words cut like knives

Give us back our lives

Cause It's been so long

Since we've belonged

In a world so cold

We just do what we're told

We're not waiting for the world to end

We're not waiting for a sign

And we're not going to pretend

Everything will be fine

When the clock counts down

Will we make a sound

Before the hands of fate

Tell us it's too late

Cause we've had enough

Our best years were rough

It's time to wise up

It's time to rise up

They tried to force us down

Out of sight underground

Acting like they've won

But we've only just begun

No more being pushed aside

Or being told we should hide

Right here right now

Let's refuse to bow

Like a ticking time bomb

All will appear calm

Before we ignite

And set everything right

We're not chained by fear

We will persevere

Cause unlike the past

Our future is vast

Uhh

Here's a moment of silence

Right before the violence

War drums will sound the cry

When the sparks will fly

There's no time for remorse

We must alter the course

If we dare retreat

We'll be stuck in repeat

Till our oblivion comes

We'll all come undone

So before eternal night

Get up and fight

Take back the life they stole

Save the world and make us whole

Rise up before it's gone

Fight for a brand new dawn

We'll keep marching on

Before it's all gone

Rise up
