RISE
Blood On The Dance Floor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rain rain won't go away
Cloud on my head every single day
This pain pain goes right inside
Breaking me down 'til I just cry

Little bully wants to play
Hits me every single day
Pain, pain go right inside
Guess I'll just have to let it slide

Drain drain all my life
Why can't I just stop this strife
Rain rain, won't go away
Cloud on my head every single day

Beat on another kid
But not on me
Rain rain won't go away
Cloud on my head every single day

These games games that you play
Eventually I'll get up and say
No no not this time
I'm taking back what is mine

With this faith
We will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair
A stone of hope
With this faith
We will be able to transform our nation
Into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood
With this faith
We will be able to stand up for freedom together
Knowing that we will be free one day
This will be the day
When all children will be able to sing with new meaning
-The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.

Stand up
Take what's mine
Insecurities
Is what your trying to hide
I don't care
For the things that you say
I know that you are just one step away
From breaking down
Pick yourself up off the ground
I know that you are better than this

Open your eyes
Now is the time
To rise up
With darkness will still shine




Idolize and deposed wrong or right
Will make it through to the other side
