Chuck Prophet - Rise lyrics

A change, a change is gonna come Those very words once left me numb I'll weight myself when I get home You can wrap your legs around these bones Rise, rise ye broken children, rise Have faith in the Great Beyond That's what they say, but you're still gone I told them I was innocent You said tell the truth, that's what I did Rise, rise ye broken children, rise Rise, I said rise, ye broken children, rise The machine is gonna keep the beat And the ground is gonna kiss my feet In stolen shoes, I'm Texas bound In the search of a man who can't be found Rise, rise ye broken chilren, rise Rise, I said rise, ye broken children, rise
