lyrics

Now let me tell about poverty and education
Listen while I tell you about drug infestation
Water radiation
And things of that nature that we know so well
He say the problem is the world is apathy
Speak of peace and love and they just laugh at me
But I say greed and hate are just like blasphemy
Wonder why your children donʼt want for more
Now let me tell you about racism/ Yes, itʼs still alive
We all look away, but it still wonʼt duck and hide
Sometimes the most liberal of liberals have to stand
And look at it in the mirror
He say the problem in the world is that no one reads
They just watch television and let their minds bleed
Instead letʼs feed the need for the seed to grow
And make better decisions for our lives
Chorus
ʻCause there comes a time when/ We all need to rise
And then we say it again because/ We all need to rise
Look deep down inside because/ We all need to rise
Raise your spirit to the highest height
And donʼt stop soaring
