     Lyrics of 'Rise'

    When the days grow cold
    In this dead gray town
    All the doors stay closed
    Silence breaks the sound
    Of your heartbeat
    You're just 19... feeling old

    Rise up
    Reach up to the sun till we drop
    Rise up
    Never going down, down, down, don't stop
    Rise up
    Lift your eyes and climb to the top
    Rise up
    Together

    Winter turns to Spring
    All our friends are gone
    When the church bells start to ring
    No one comes to sing
    In the choir
    Holding flowers
    No one brings

    Rise up
    Reach up to the sun till we drop
    Rise up
    Never going down, down, down, don't stop
    Rise up
    Lift your eyes and climb to the top
    Rise up
    Together

    There's a place I know
    Where us misfits go
    In the candlelight at night
    Black roses grow
    Through the darkness
    On our journey to the light

    Rise up
    Reach up to the sun till we drop
    Rise up
    Never going down, down, down, don't stop
    Rise up
    Lift your eyes and climb to the top
    Rise up
    Together
    Rise up... oh... rise
