Rise Lyrics by Chosen Few (AUS)

Friends, Foes & Firewood

1990

[Verse 1]
Friends, foes and firewood
Are gathering in the tenements tonight
While fast Eddie Robinson
Brings home food for those too slow
For too many years he has lived on this street
His room is full of memories and the stories repeat
And somehow everything is turning upside down
[Pre-Chorus]
And they've been sleeping in the subway
The only place they call their own
And eventually they'll rise, yes they rise
[Chorus]
And they rise in thеir own way
And they rise in their own way
[Verse 2]
Wеll Katrina's in the family way
She doesn't have a lot to say, I wonder why
She goes home twice a week
To wash her clothes and watch her mother cry
There's too many rules for her living at home
Too many fools on the streets where she roams
And somehow everything is turning upside down
[Pre-Chorus]
And they've been sleeping in the subway
The only place they call their own
And eventually they'll rise, yes they rise
[Chorus]
And they rise in their own way
And they rise in their own way
Ooh, they will rise up
Ooh yeah
[Middle 8]
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"
[Chorus]
And they rise in their own way
Yes they rise in their own way
Yes they rise in their own way
Yes they rise in their own way
And they will rise
Yes they will rise up
