RISE - Darryl Braithwaite 
 
 
Verse 1 
 
 
G                  C           D                 C             G   C   D   C 
Friends, foes and firewood are gathering in the tenements tonight 
          G         C                   D         C         G     C   D   C 
While the fast ones amongst them brings home food for those too slow 
G         C              D             C         G     C   D   C 
For many years they have lived on the streets 
           G             C             D        C      G  C   D   C 
And their freedom just a memory as the darkness repeats 
   G         C            D        C        G  C   D   C 
But somehow everything is turning upside down 
 
 
 
Pre Chorus 
 
 
Em  D  C                                      Em   C    D 
          And they've been sleeping in the subway 
                              Em   C   D 
The only place they call their own 
               Em             D 
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they 
 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
G  C  D        C 
Rise in their own way 
G  C  D        C 
Rise in their own way 
 
 
 
Verse 2 
 
 
Their daughters ran away today, She didn't have a lot to say 
They wondered why she comes home twice a week 
To wash her clothes and watch her mother cry 
There's too many eyes watching her family home 
Now the seeds of revolution inside her are sown 
And somehow everything is turning upside down 
 
 
 
And they've been sleeping in the subway 
The only place they call their own 
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they 
 
 
Rise in their own way 
Rise in their own way 
 
 
 
Verse 3 
 
 
Her only daughter left her many years ago and still she dont know why 
She said ?don't you worry mother you will never see me cry? 
 
 
 
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they 
Rise in their own way 
Rise in their own way
