When you see the road ahead
That you've been down before
When you're half way to nowhere
And you can't pay the toll

To hangin' on to mercy
Whithered on the vine
With your feet on the ground
Your head in the clouds
And your heart on the line

Open up your eyes

You got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found

But I just see the glory of the love thet's here
And now it's coming down
So rise up now, yeah, yeah

When you're told that the day is over
Long after the sun goes down
And your mind keeps on racing
At the dreams that don't come around
When you don't know how to surrender
'Cause your whole life's been a fight
When the dark comes to you
And you can't break through
'Cause you haven't seen the light

Open up your eyes

You got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found

But I just see the glory of the love that's here
And now it's coming down
So rise up now, yeah, rise up now
Oh, rise up now

And all the lambs roar like lions
And all the prisoners breaking their chains
And all the poor find their treasures
'Cause heaven comin' this way

And all the lambs roar like lions
And all the prisoners breaking their chains
And all the poor find their treasures
'Cause heaven comin' this way
Rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found

But I just see the glory of the love thet's here
And now it's coming down
So rise up now, yeah, rise up now
Oh, rise up now, yeah, yeah
