"RISE UP" LYRICS:

"I regard myself as a soldier...a soldier of peace." - Ghandi

Rise Up
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. They are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty...the pursuit of happiness." - The Declaration of Independence

Lookin' at millions under a circus tent
Watchin' a jackass chase a dumb pachyderm
Oh what a show!
Tappin' on any shoulder that I can find
Of anyone on there who might change their mind
It's time to go.
To the real world outside with those pirate ships
The drunken sailors with dirty lips
That rule the night
Shoutin' don't be afraid of those wicked men
There's more of us than there are of them
Come join the fight!

Rise up and be counted
Take your part in the solution
Linking arm in arm, to arms, to arms
Lower your guns and raise your voices
Join the peaceful revolution
Shout I'm mad as hell
and I will ring the bell of freedom

Ride with me from Boston to Phili to LA
With reason come marching
With knowledge come drumming
Let everyone hear you
Each soul that is near you
The British are coming! the British are coming!

We built a house of sticks a hall of parlor tricks
But we blame it all on our politics
Oh what a shame!
Truth is the cancer ain't just in the head
Half the body's nearly dead
We're all to blame
Time to pledge no more standing on one thin leg
Lack of principle's a powder-keg
And we can't wait
If we just say what we mean mean what we say
Take back the power we gave away
It's not too late - Grab your tea and follow me

Rise up and be counted
Take your part in the solution
Linking arm in arm with words as arms
Lower your guns and raise your voices
Join the peaceful revolution
Have you an ear to hear, an eye that sees us
We come in the Spirit of Martin, of Ghandi, of Jesus
Holding fast to the words with the power that frees us
Rise up. Make your choices
Choose the peaceful revolution
Sell what you have to sell so the devil can tell
Then let them raise their hell
And we will ring the bell of freedom
The bell of freedom
The bell of freedom

Special shout out to KRISTA BRANCH. I AM AMERICA and REMEMBER WHO WE ARE, great songs!

  • @studyhistory:You are so wrong.This Nation was founded on Christian principles by Godly men, whether you believe it or not. Read up & study the history of the Founding Fathers & this country.They came here to escape religious persecution. Nobody is 'forcing' their religion upon you. You can choose to listen to it, read abt it or walk away. In fact, the opposite is happening, TV, movies, books & the Internet are constantly 'forcing' the ungodly, immoral way of life upon us every day! God help us!

  • Thank God for outspoken Americans! It is time to vote all congressional types out of office.

  • Rise up. Vote Romney.

  • oh yeah... i shouldnt believe the whole media... wait... without FOX NEWS. hahaha should up, in america is no free press. and today their are more racists and nationalist in the USA than in germany, and the USA never protect me.

  • maybe... u should read sth. about the CIA?:

    - Operation PBSUCCESS

    - Air America

    - Demagnetize

    - MKULTRA

    - Project FUBELT

    - Operation Cyclone

    - Operation CHAOS

    their are hundreds of operations by the CIA which are against the humanrights and democrazy.

  • sry my brother used my account by accident. he thinks he knows everything.

  • Pick up a book you ignorant twit and read a little something called history. Don't believe the f***ing media of any country, READ! Also, you should thank the USA for your military protection. Since the USA took control of Germany's military there hasn't been a WWIII. Germany is the country with the largest contribution of starting WWI and WWII. Schoenen Tag noch!

  • And Korea? Haha. The Korean War was between the Republic of Korea (which was supported by the USA and NATO) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (supported by China and the Soviet Union). If the USA destroyed the "Democracy" of Korea then why is South Korea a free country that has a Democracy and North Korea is a communist country where their people are starving because of an oppressive government. The USA has troops in South Korea to protect their people.

  • The Cold War saved millions of lives with the destruction of the Soviet Union. Why do you think so many of the small former countries of the Soviet Union are pro American? Like Georgia for example. Cuba was destroyed from the inside out. If the USA destroyed Cuba, then why is there no trading with them and why are Cubans allowed to come to America without going through immigration? Vietnam was a communist country before the Vietnam War and it is still a communist country.

  • The USA got 1% of it's oil from Libya you dumbass. Libya is France's major contributors. No I bet your not NAZI, but I'm wondering if your ancestors went along with the slaughter of millions of Jews. I actually know people from Canada, the USA, and the UK who have served over in Iraq and Afghanistan and the actual "innocent" people of those countries want NATO allies there you ignorant twit. The majority of civilian deaths were caused by their own people.

  • first, i am from germany and NO i am NO nazi. second: the USA killed gaddafi because of oil and not because they are "good people". the USA killed 100.000 people just in Iraq they didnt saved anyone. today their is more religious violence in iraq than in the years with saddam. and the USA killed thousands of people while the cold war for example: In Korea, In Vietnam, In Cuba. The CIA destroy 3 democratic governments because of money and such things, the USA is evil!

  • Awesome! Wow! Gave me goose bumps! We have to get involved and speak up and Rise Up and fight this battle. Remember what is at stake. The future of America and our children's future too! Pray for America that God will forgive us and heal our land. God Bless...
