THE KING IS RISING
|
|
every morning on the evening news
|
I hear the same ol?story someone singing the blues
|
disaster striking out and you're not ready
|
California quakes and the Midwest floods
|
see the hurricanes and the Malibu mud
|
ice and snow, you know it drives you crazy
|
|
I hear the prophet of the modern day
|
shouting out from the side of the stage
|
|
the kind is rising
|
will you be ready to stand up and fight
|
|
there's feeling all across the land
|
times are tough--getting way out of hand
|
crime is on the run and there's no safety
|
war in the streets, the economy
|
nothing stays the same and there's nothing for me
|
everybody's frantic for the sure thing
|
|
I see the prophet of the modern day
|
stepping out from society's cage
|
|
the king is rising
|
will you be ready to stand up and fight
|
the king is rising
|
will you be ready to lay down your life
|
|
I don't think he'll take any longer, no,
|
I don't think he'll take any more
|
|
(solo)
|
|
the king is rising
|
will you be ready to stand up and fight
|
the king is rising
|
will you be ready to lay down your life
|
