lyrics

Nacido Libre Music (ASCAP)/ Phoenixcane Music (ASCAP)

Woke up this morning/ What did you do today?
What's your reason to rise?
Stay at home mom, but the kids are all gone away
What's your reason to rise?
Don't know a thing about PTA, but I got love in my heart
Ain't that enough?

Looked at the DOW and it took a dive today
What's your reason to rise?
41 times a billionaire/ You got it all hidden away
What's your reason to rise?
Ain't got a dime in my pocket, but I got love in my heart
Ain't that enough?

Went to church on Sunday/ Heard the preacher man pray
What's your reason to rise?
Said your only child was a sinner because she was gay
What's your reason to rise?
Ain't got religion on my mind, but I got love in my heart
Ain't that enough?

Need votes to D.C./ Don't believe a thing that you say
What's your reason to rise?
Campaign promises all washed away
What's your reason to rise?
Ain't got faith in your government, but I got love in my heart
Ain't that enough?

And every day I see my reflection/ I stand before my judge and jury
And I got love in my heart/ I may not have all the answers, but I try each day that I rise

Woke up this morning/ What did you do today?
What's your reason to rise?
Stay at home mom, but the kids are all gone away
What's your reason to rise?
Don't know a thing about PTA, but I got love in my heart
Ain't that enough?
