Way Up I Rise

Way up I rise gripped in a choke hold Way up I rise buried, dead and forgotten from the grave way up I rise people are afraid because they see the Lazarusman way up I rise breaking free from the struggle way up I rise ressession in this beloved country the R.S.A way up I rise social injustice still rife way up I rise unemployment is crisis mode way up I rise we aint ready to stand up to a corrupt goverment way up I rise we need to do more to protect our children way up I rise we need to change the way we live way up I rise we need to change the way we eat, sleep and treat each other way up I rise when you go way down I'll hold out my hand way up I rise where is the love? way up I rise time is the illusion of the mind way up I rise say something poetic way up I rise war makes us humans pathetic way up I rise we don't realy live, it is a performance way up I rise do we realy care about the next or is it just acting way up I rise
