I woke up today, I broke up the way
The smoke covers me, I'm chokin you see
Words spoken to me, have broken the seams
Your jokin I plea, this man said to me
You've got to stop waiting, anticipating
Tomorrow could be the day you die
Love's for creating, not for debating
And there's not a question why
Rising above all the ruins, I am rising
It's time that we end this game of pretend
This message I send: live your life my friend
Some rules meant to bend and our wounds will mend
And I'll meet you when the stars are within
Our reach, you must practice what you preach
You won't go anywhere less ya do somethin bout it
And hours teach you'll find nothing you dont seek
And that roads for the weak and there's no doubt
about it
Rising above all the ruins, I am rising
