|
Friends, foes and firewood are gathering in the tenaments tonight |
|
While the fast one amongst them brings home food for those too slow |
|
For too many years they have lived on these streets |
|
And their freedom just a memory as the darkness repeats |
|
But somehow everything is turning upside down |
|
BRIDGE |
|
And they've been sleeping in the subway |
|
The only place they call their own |
|
CHORUS |
|
And eventually they rise, yes they rise |
|
And they rise in their own way (Repeat) |
|
Their daughter ran away today |
|
Didn't have a lot to say |
|
They wondered why |
|
She comes in twice a week to wash her clothes and watch her mother cry |
|
There's too many eyes watching her fmaily home |
|
Now the seeds of revolution inside her are sown |
|
And somehow everything is turning upside down |
|
BRIDGE, CHORUS |
|
Her only daughter left her many years ago |
|
And still she don't know why |
|
She said "Don't you worry mother, you will never see me cry" |
|
Yes they rise in their own way(Repeat) |
|
And they rise in their own way(Repeat) |
|
(Repeat) |
