When the days grow cold In this dead gray town All the doors stay closed Silence breaks the sound Of your heartbeat You're just nineteen, feeling old Rise up Reach up to the sun till we drop Rise up Never going down, down, down, don't stop Rise up Lift your eyes and climb to the top Rise up Together Winter turns to spring All our friends are gone When the church bells start to ring No one comes to sing In the choir Holding flowers No one brings Rise up Reach up to the sun till we drop Rise up Never going down, down, down, don't stop Rise up Lift your eyes and climb to the top Rise up Together There's a place I know Where us misfits go In the candlelight at night Black roses grow Through the darkness On our journey to the light Rise up Reach up to the sun till we drop Rise up Never going down, down, down, don't stop Rise up Lift your eyes and climb to the top Rise up Together Rise up Oh Rise
