Rise - Chuck Prophet

A change, a change is gonna come

Those very words once left me numb

I’ll weight myself when I get home

You can wrap your legs around these bones

Rise, rise ye broken children, rise

Have faith in the Great Beyond

That’s what they say, but you’re still gone

I told them I was innocent

You said tell the truth, that’s what I did

Rise, rise ye broken children, rise

Rise, I said rise, ye broken children, rise

The machine is gonna keep the beat

And the ground is gonna kiss my feet

In stolen shoes, I’m Texas bound

In the search of a man who can’t be found

Rise, rise ye broken chilren, rise

Rise, I said rise, ye broken children, rise
