[Verse 1]
Deep down, deep down
There is something going on
Changing
Right now, right now
I am just a messenger
Baby

[Pre-Chorus]
All the writers are insane
They just give it and give it away
While the rest of us remain
And they'll do it again and again

[Chorus]
The sun is coming up
Feels like it's not enough
It's like I'm waking up
The sun is coming up
I feel it in my blood
Change is gonna come
The temperature is rising

[Post-Chorus]
(The temperature is rising)
[Verse 3]
We've come so far
From a city to a citadel, baby
Shake up, shake down
Doesn't seem to matter anymore
Lately

[Pre-Chorus]
All the writers are insane
They just give it and give it away
While the rest of us remain
And they'll do it again and again

[Chorus]
The sun is coming up
Feels like it's not enough
It's like I'm waking up
The sun is coming up
I feel it in my blood
Change is gonna come
The temperature is rising

[Post-Chorus]
(The temperature is rising)
(The temperature is rising)
(The temperature is rising)
[Chorus]
The sun is coming up
Feels like it's not enough
It's like I'm waking up
The sun is coming up
I feel it in my blood
Change is gonna come
The temperature is rising

[Chorus]
The sun is coming up
Feels like it's not enough
It's like I'm waking up
The sun is coming up
I feel it in my blood
Change is gonna come
The temperature is rising

[Outro]
The temperature is rising
