Arise Songtext
von Hard‐Fi

Open my eyes and a new day dawns
Stare at the ceiling till my senses make some sense of it
The roar of traffic from the bypass
747 shakes the windows on a fly past

Dirty plates in the kitchen sink
Yesterday′s dinner empty bottles and a last demand
This cannot stand
I wiped the slate clean and I didn't think twice

Arise I get a grip of myself
Arise I can′t be anybody else
They'll say you lose but it's not true if you want to get higher
Arise don′t think about it

I close my ears to the voices that just hold me back
Open my heart to the endless possibilities
I changed the channel from the cynics and the hate
I stepped outside feel the sun on my face


Arise I get a grip of myself
Arise I can′t be anybody else
They'll say you lose but it′s not true if you want to get higher
Arise don't think about it

Arise

I love the smell of the Earth in the springtime
It′s all potential full of promise of what's yet to come
I feel like standing on a hilltop
My arms wide open hear the crash of every raindrop

In every city in every Street
Up through the cracks grows a flower through the concrete
And from the Thames to the Mersey to the Clyde
I drink to love and no more wasted lives

Arise

Arise I get a grip of myself
Up from heartache, up from doubt
Arise I can′t be anybody else
It's now or never, apply some pressure
They'll say you lose but it′s not true if you want to get higher
Arise don′t think about it

Don't think about it

Up from lies, up from fake, up from prejudice, up from hate
