Lyrics Rise - Skillet

Rise

All I see is shattered pieces,
I can't keep it hidden like a secret,
I can't look away
From all this pain in the world we've made.
Every day you need a bulletproof vest
To save yourself from what you could never guess
Am I safe today,
When I step outside in the wars we wage?
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown...
Sound it off, this is our call:
Rise and revolution!
It's our time to change it all:
Rise and revolution!
Unite and fight
To make a better life!
Everybody, one for all!
Sound off, this is the call:
Tonight we rise!
Rise!
Tonight we rise!
Rise!
Tonight we rise!
Like a hand grenade thrown in a hurricane,
Spinning in chaos, trying to escape the flame.
Yesterday is gone
Faster than the blast of a car bomb.
And when the scars heal, the pain passes
As hope burns, we rise from the ashes.
Darkness fades away,
And the light shines on a brave new day.
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown...
Sound it off, this is our call:
Rise and revolution!
It's our time to change it all:
Rise and revolution!
Unite and fight
To make a better life!
Everybody, one for all!
Sound off, this is the call:
Tonight we rise!
Rise!
Tonight we rise!
Rise!
Tonight we rise!
In a world gone mad (in a voice so sad)
Sometimes it's crazy (crazy)
To fight for what you believe
But you can't give up (No)
If you want to keep what you love... (Keep what you love)
Keep what you love... (Keep what you love)
Keep what you love...
Never give up!
No!
Rise!
Rise and revolution!
Rise!
Rise and revolution!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call:
Rise!
Like we're alive!
Tonight we rise!
Rise!
Make a better life!
Tonight we rise!
Rise!
Rise!
Rise!
Rise and revolution!
Rise!
Rise!
Rise and revolution!
Rise!

showing the highest unemployment rates since the end of World War Two.
Many are losing their jobs, their homes, and in many cases - their hope."
