Rise Up
The Dead Daisies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Children it's time, we all recognize
With each passing day
The world's full of anger and hate

A crime, our leaders are sick and malign
Like sheep we don't step out of line

Rise up out of the deep
The time has come to
Rise up, wake from your sleep
From hate, to love
The time has come to rise, yeah, yeah

Polluting the skies, the temperatures rise
We're way past no return
God tell me when will we learn

Oh why the blind keep on leading the blind
If we wait we'll run out of time

Rise up out of the deep
The time has come to
Rise up, wake from your sleep
From hate, to love
The time has come to rise

Rise
Rise up out of the deep
The time has come to
Rise up, wake from your sleep

Rise up (rise up)

Rise up
The time has come to rise up
Rise up
From hate, to love




The time has come to rise
Rise yeah, yeah, yeah
