Rise
by Daryl Braithwaite

Friends, foes and firewood are gathering
In the tenements 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

And they've been sleeping in the subway
The only place they call their own

And eventually they rise, yes, they rise
And they rise in their own way
Yes, they rise in their own way

Their daughter 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

And eventually they rise, yes, they rise
And they rise in their own way
Yes, they rise in their own way

They will rise up
They will rise 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 Yes, they rise in their own way And, they rise in their own way Yes, they rise in their own way They will rise... They will rise up
