Lyrics
I wanna rise above you and me
Till every woman and man is free
And I won't settle for the commonplace
Cause I want the light of the truth
Look for a second at the second had
How fast it's ticking time away
But we keep killing me and taking lands
The blood of hundreds in a day
We never even take the time to see their faces
We're throwing bullets through the air
If we made up our minds to sit in conversations
It would be the start of repair
I wanna rise above you and me
Till every woman and man is free
And we won't settle for the olden days
They're not gonna silence the truth
We close the prison bars on other men
Throw them in cages at our will
But he who holds himself dominant
Will find in his mind the same jail
We never even take the time to hear their voices
We bang the gavel without care
But if we come around to understand their choices
We'll find the common ground we share
I wanna rise above you and me
Till every woman and man is free
And I won't settle for the commonplace
I'm gonna fight for the truth
Therefore, I'm finding the center
The light of the candle, burning inside
Therefore, I have something to care for
Something I can't ignore, and I can't deny
Look for a second at the second hand
And just how many fill a day
We still have time until the record ends
To carry on in a new way
The game is anyone's and our generation can take it with our song and dance
We can't continue on this road of separation
We'll win the day we join our hands
I wanna rise above you and me
Till every woman and man is free
And I won't settle for the commonplace
I'm gonna fight for the truth
I'm gonna fight for the truth
I'm gonna fight for the truth
