Verse 1
When you see the road ahead
that you've been down before
When you're half way to no where
and you can't pay the toll
Cont. pattern
You're hanging onto mercy
withered on the vine
With your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds
and your heart on the line
Pre-chorus
Open up your eyes
Chorus
You've got to rise up (rise up)
when this life has got you down
You've got to look up (look up)
when you search & nothings found
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now.
