Bio

Lyrics

Your place alone
To tell your friends and lovers
just how you feel
to you, they are real

Tell them you want them
Tell them you need their friendship
Tell them you’ll want them always
Need them always, love them always

Rise up,
Go to the city
Rise up
calling everyone
Right now, the world is a pity
All the world is waiting for us

How can it be?
The starving, the ill, and homeless
We just let it be,
in a land that is free

Where’s our compassion
You know it’s not hard to feed ourselves
We do it in fashion,
live in passion,
rule our actions

Rise up,
Go to the city
Rise up
calling everyone
Right now the world is a pity
All the world is waiting for us

Rise up,
Go to the city
Rise up
calling everyone
Right now the world could be pretty
All the world is waiting for us

Forever’s a long and lonely time
Alone in your silence
Forever we stand as the world goes by
come what may

Forget all those things that you want
for yourself, And think of a real way
to comfort and guide your brothers
alone and gray

So rise up!

Rise up,
Go to the city
Rise up
calling everyone
Right now, the world is a pity
All the world is waiting for us

Come On!

Rise up,
Go to the city
Rise up
calling everyone
Right now, the world could be pretty
All the world is waiting for us
