When the days grow cold

In this dead gray town

All the doors stay closed

Silence breaks the sound

Of your heartbeat

You're just 19... feeling old.

Rise up

Reach up to the sun till we drop

Rise up

Never going down, down, down, don't stop

Rise up

Lift your eyes and climb to the top

Rise up

Together.

Winter turns to spring

All our friends are gone

When the church bells start to ring

No one comes to sing

In the choir

Holding flowers

No one brings.

Rise up

Reach up to the sun till we drop

Rise up

Never going down, down, down, don't stop

Rise up

Lift your eyes and climb to the top

Rise up

Together.

There's a place I know

Where us misfits go

In the candlelight at night

Black roses grow

Through the darkness

On our journey to the light.

Rise up

Reach up to the sun till we drop

Rise up

Never going down, down, down, don't stop

Rise up

Lift your eyes and climb to the top

Rise up

Together

Rise up... oh... rise.
