Rise up
See for yourself
You got to pull yourself up
From the fires of hell
Rise up
And see for yourself
What the all world's done
Nobody else's
And when the city spits itself out into that big ocean
The wonderful wisdom of thee
Quite a few shall wonder
Very few shall know
Everybody wants to change the world
Everybody wonders where the river goes
Everybody wants to save their souls
And everybody wonders
The very few shall know
Wonders where the river goes
And everybody wonders where the river goes
It's time to wake up early
Start taking care of your health
And start doing all the hard things
And believe in yourself
And follow your own heart
If nothing else
And listen to your own dreams
Nobody else's will do, will do
Everybody wonders
Very few shall know
Everybody wants to change the world
And everybody wonders where the river goes
Everybody wants to save their souls
You've been searching all your life for something till you realized
That what you seek was with you all the time
And everybody wonders where the river grows
It's not to hard to tell
It's Christmas (it's not hard to tell).
