Intro

Verse 1

Friends, foes and firewood are gathering in the tenements tonight

 While the fast ones amongst them brings home food for those too slow

For many years they have lived on the streets

 And their freedom just a memory as the darkness repeats

 But somehow everything is turning upside down

Pre Chorus

And they've been sleeping in the subway

 The only place they call their own

 Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they

Chorus

Rise in their own way

Rise in their own way

Verse 2

Their daughters ran away today, She didn't have a lot to say

They wondered why she comes home twice a week

To wash her clothes and watch her mother cry

There's too many eyes watching her family home

Now the seeds of revolution inside her are sown

And somehow everything is turning upside down

And they've been sleeping in the subway

The only place they call their own

Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they

Rise in their own way

Rise in their own way

Verse 3

Her only daughter left her many years ago and still she dont know why

 She said, don't you worry mother you will never see me cry?

Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they

Rise in their own way

Rise in their own way
