Rise & Shine
Rain rain won't go away
Cloud on my head every single day
This pain pain goes right inside
Breaking me down 'til I just cry
Little bully wants to play
Hits me every single day
Pain, Pain go right inside
Guess I'll Just have to let it slide
Drain drain all my life
Why can't I just stop this strife
Rain rain, won't go away
Cloud on my head every single day
Beat on another kid
But not on me
Rain rain won't go away
Cloud on my head every single day
These games games that you play
Eventually I'll get up and say
No no not this time
I'm taking back what is mine
With this faith
We will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation
Into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood
With this faith
We will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together
Knowing that we will be able to sing with new meaning
-The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.
Stand up
And take what's mine
Insecurities
Is what your trying to hide
I don't care
For the things that you say
I know that you're just one step away
From breaking down
Pick yourself up off the ground
I know that you are better than this
Open your eyes
Now is the time
To rise up
With Darkness we'll still shine
Idolize and despise
Wrong or right
We'll make it through to the other side
