Betty Wright - Rise Up lyrics

Why not say it like it is? Like you know you should Before they break your little heart Ooh break it good The feelings all the way inside Never let you down So why not say it like it is Even if it don't make your mama proud Why change your mind when you make it up Second chances don't come easy Easy for some Baby I don't know The lock from the key But I know one of them is you And the other one's me So if it's happiness you want That's what you'll get You gotta rise up little sister Turn on the light Wise up to the stories you've been told Cuz love don't come in black or white Oh no no no My mama tells me I won't get Thru the pearly gates Cuz I ain't sorry for my sins And all my mistakes Well mama I don't know If I'm going up or down But I know heaven's gonna be One lonely town But if it's happiness you want That's what you'll get You gotta rise up little sister Turn on the light Wise up to the stories you've been told Cuz love don't come in black or white Oh no no no Rise up little sister Turn on the light Wise up to the stories you've been told Rise up little sister Turn on the light Wise up to the stories you've been told Cuz love don't come in black or white No, no, it don't come in black or white
