Rise Up… Rise Up

10.26.2019

 

Come with me

Come rise above the hatred

Where the knives are meant for butter

And the air is fresh up here

Doesn’t smell of drugs

Or gunpowder flash fear

 

Come follow me

We’re going to rise above the hatred

We’ll plant seeds for the daisies

Watch them grow

Unlike the dead

Who push them up

From down below

 

Come on

Come on

 

Let’s rise above this hatred

 

Hell is open bordered

But Heaven is pearly gated

 

Come on

Come on

 

Come rise above the hatred

 

When a glance into a mirror

Reflects what you’ve been trained to fear

 

Rise up

Rise up

 

Then rise above the hatred

 

Come on up with me

We’ll rise above the hatred

Blow bubbles

Not bombs

Push the troubles along

Empty words a hollow song

Move on

Move along

We’ll rise above the hatred

Come along with me

Come along

 

Come on

Come on

 

Let’s rise above this hatred

 

Hell is open bordered

But Heaven is pearly gated

 

Come on

Come on

 

Come rise above the hatred

 

When a glance into a mirror

Reflects what you’ve been trained to fear

 

Rise up

Rise up

 

Then rise above the hatred
