'Rise'


IN THEE OH LORD DO I PUT MY TRUST
SO NEVER LET ME BE PUT TO CONFUSION
DELIVER ME IN THY RIGHTEOUSNESS
YES AND CAUSE ME TO BE FREE

I'VE BEEN HERE SO LONG NOW I WANT OUT
DON'T WANT NO REASONING THERE IS NO DOUBT
TOO LONG TOO LONG I'VE HAD TO LIVE IN YOUR WAY
WELL I'VE HOPED NOW I PRAY
JAH BRINGS ME A BETTER DAY

SOMETIMES I FEEL I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND
IT'S TEARING ME UP INSIDE
JUST WHEN I LAY DOWN THINKING
IT'S BETTER THAT I WAS DEAD
THEN I FELT THE FATHERS HAND
RESTING ON THE BROW OF MY HEAD
THIS IS WHAT HE SAID

RISE TO THE OCASSION
I KNOW IT'S TOUGH IN CREATION
TO SURVIVE NOT STRAY FROM THE TRUTH
THAT IS THE PROOF (REPEAT)

THE THINGS YOU VALUE THE MOST
IT'S THEM YOU NEED THE LEAST
THE THINGS YOU VALUE THE LEAST
THEM YOU NEED THE MOST
I SAID ONLY WHEN ONLY
WHEN EVERY LITTLE THING IS LOST
ONLY THEN ONLY THEN
WILL YOU BEGIN TO COUNT THE COST
SAID YOU BETTER RISE TO THE OCASSION
I KNOW IT'S TOUGH IN CREATION
TO SURVIVE NOT TO STRAY FROM THE TRUTH
THAT IS THE PROOF

THEY SAY THEY GATHER AND SAY THEY SAY
MY CAUSE IS LOST OH MY GOSH
THEY GATHER ROUND THE CORNER AND
WHISPERING ONE TO ANOTHER
RASTAMAN GONE TO THE DUST
BUT I KNOW HE RISE AGAIN
I TELL YOU MY FRIEND

BUT JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD EVERYTHING RIGHT
SOMETHING STEPPED FROM OUT OF THE DARK
AND CLUBBED ME WITHIN AN INCH OF MY LIFE
THEN I LAY DOWN THINKING IT BETTER THAT I WAS DEAD
THEN I FELT THE FATHERS HAND WIPING THE BLOOD
FROM THE BROW OF MY HEAD
THIS IS WHAT HE SAID

CHORUS (REPEAT)

RISE OH RISE OH RISE OH RISE RISE
I KNOW IT'S ROUGH I KNOW IT'S TOUGH
YOU'VE GOT TO YOU'VE GOT TO
