The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
The wind is blowing cold Have we lost our way tonight? Have we lost our hope to sorrow? Feels like we're all alone Running further from what's right And there are no more heroes to follow So what are we becoming? Where did we go wrong? [Chorus:] Yeah, oh yeah I want to rise today And change this world Yeah, oh yeah Oh, won't you rise today And change this world? The sun is beating down Are we ever gonna change Can we stop the blood from running? Our time is running out Hope we find a better way Before we find we're left with nothing For every life that's taken So much love is wasted [Chorus:] Yeah, oh yeah I want to rise today And change this world Yeah, oh yeah So won't you rise today And change This world Only love can set it right This world If only peace would never die Seems to me that we've got each other wrong Was the enemy just your brother all along? [Chorus:] Yeah, oh yeah I want to rise today And change this world Yeah, oh yeah Oh won't you rise today And change this world? Yeah, oh yeah I want to rise today And change this world Yeah, oh yeah I want to rise today And change this world
