Rising up

Life
Can be a struggle sometime huh?
I know
I know
But if we'd all
reach out and help one another
Instead of minding our own
We'd rise up
You know kid?
And if I see you
I'd be walking again baby
Mmmm I'm rising up
And if I see you
I'd be walking again baby
Mmmm I'm rising up

Here's the story

Staring through the window
Looking at an old man limping
Wondering about this day til the world is gone
Listen to the sound of
People crying in the rain just stranded
Looking for the place where they all belong
Take it to the bridge

I can judge of a what is right
Too many kids in the street tonight (tonight)
Make a try for the better days
Only time will tell yeah

Rising up
Facing life
Doing what I can to get out of here
New decisions yeah
Will be made inside my mind
Rising up
Facing life
Doing what I can to get out of here
New decisions yeah for life

Looking through the city
A mother cries her eyes out wondering (she's wondering)
Her boy hasn't come back home yeah
Her baby's in a drive by
He's trying to make a full time living
Is anybody there to avoid the harm

So please just tell me

You put your hands on the gun now
Two seconds more now
Everything can change in a blast yeah baby
Do you believe it
(Do you believe it,just make it)
This is the time to believe in your god above

Facing life
Doing what I can to get out of here
New decisions yeah
Will be made inside my mind

Rising up
Facing life
Doing what I can to get out of here
New decisions yeah for life

Rising up
Facing life
Doing what I can to get out of here
New decisions yeah
Will be made inside my mind
Rising up
Facing life
Doing what I can to get out of here
New decisions yeah for life
