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!
