They can say it don't mean that much
They can play it like a blind man's bluff
But they don't know
They don't know

All the dreams they try to turn to dust
Are still alive and locked inside of us
But they don't know
They don't know

All my life has been this way
Guess some things'll never change
Dreaming of better days
Dreaming of better days
Any spark can light the flame
It's up to me to find a way
Dreaming of better days
Stop dreaming of better days

And rise up (rise up)
Rise up (rise up)
Rise up
Rise up (rise up)

A million voices gonna wake 'em up
It just takes word to set the whole thing off
But they don't know
They don't know

All my life has been this way
Guess some things'll never change
Dreaming of better days
Dreaming of better days
Any spark can light the flame
It's up to me to find a way
Dreaming of better days
Stop dreaming of better days

And rise up (rise up)
Rise up (rise up)
Rise up
Rise up (rise up)

You've gotta say rise up
You've gotta say rise up
You've gotta say rise up

All my life has been this way
Guess some things'll never change
Dreaming of better days
Dreaming of better days
Any spark can light the flame
It's up to me to find a way
Dreaming of better days
Stop dreaming of better days

And rise up (rise up)
Rise up (rise up)
Rise up
Rise up (rise up)
