Rise Up Wise Up Eyes Up
Ibeyi Lyrics
I imagine death so much it feels like a memory, like a memory
I wrote some notes and melodies, this is my legacy
Sing it out for me
Rise up
We will wise up
And keep our eyes up, remembering
Rise up, open your eyes and you'll
Wise up, open your eyes and you'll
Eyes up, open your eyes and you'll
Rise up, open your eyes and you'll
I planted seeds in a beautiful garden
That I will never see
They'll become tall trees
I left some loving fantasies, this is my legacy
Dream it all for me
Rise up, we will wise up
And keep our eyes up, remembering
Rise up, open your eyes and you'll
Wise up, open your eyes and you'll
Eyes up, open your eyes and you'll
Rise up, open your eyes and you'll
Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll
Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll
Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll
Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll
