| Broken souls on the city streets
|
| Fall apart while the city sleeps
|
| Fading hearts of a generation
|
| Tired eyes of a desperate nation
|
| Blank stares and empty grins
|
| When did we let darkness in?
|
| It’s time to light it up again
|
| Let the fire inside of me, take me over
|
| Brighter for all to see, as the world grows colder
|
| Find me on my knees and take me higher
|
| Out of the wasted lives
|
| I will, I will, rise
|
| When light shines on hopeless men
|
| We find the strength to hope again
|
| Every time that freedom finds us
|
| Broken bones and scars remind us
|
| Seething with bloodshot eyes
|
| Breathing just to survive
|
| It’s time to bring us back to life
|
| Let the fire inside of me, take me over
|
| Brighter for all to see, as the world grows colder
|
| Find me on my knees and take me higher
|
| Out of the wasted lives
|
| I will, I will, rise
|
| Build me up and burn me down, take me over
|
| You’re everything that I need now
|
| Let the fire inside of me, take me over
|
| Brighter for all to see, as the world grows colder
|
| Let the fire inside of me, take me over
|
| Brighter for all to see, as the world grows colder
|
| Find me on my knees and take me higher
|
| Out of the wasted lives
|
| I will, I will, rise
|
| I will rise |
