I’ve been running into trouble   Well mostly I’ve been walking   Having conversations with God   Where I do all the talking      Just to find the will to live   Is a search that takes me far and wide   Sometimes the suburbs of paradise   Leave a lot to be desired      Will I rise, will I rise up?   Will I rise, will I rise, up?      As I crawl around my house   I think I could just disappear   I keep looking in the mirror   Just to see if I’m still here      Maybe we could overthrow   The political campaign   With all this blood on our hands   We’ve only got ourselves to blame      Will we rise, will we rise up?   Will we rise, will we rise up?   Will we rise... up?   Will we rise... up?      The road ahead is all the shiver   But is the past through with me yet?   All the sins of the father   That I’m trying to forget      Why’s it take a world of love   To let just a little in   There’s a murmur in my heart   But it might be only spring      Will it rise, will it rise up?   Will it rise, will it rise up?   Will we rise... up?   Will we rise, will we rise up?   Will we rise... up...?
