Now it's late October And the leaves are falling Summertime is over Winter will soon come calling Flowers are scattered to the wind Come next spring They'll rise again Rise again When the fire of hope dies down And dreams are gone Cast your seeds of bitterness to the ground Let winter's frost call d**h down For when another season comes 'round New dreams will wake To rise again Rise again We'll rise again We'll rise again Like John Barleycorn We get cut with a loving hand The wheel will turn again and again
And we shall rise We shall rise again We'll rise again Like John Barleycorn We get cut with a loving hand The wheel will turn again and again And we shall rise We shall rise again When love leaves you lost And all alone Head hung in grief Darkness coming on Well night shall give way to dawn And you shall rise To love again Rise again We'll rise again Like John Barleycorn We get cut with a loving hand The wheel will turn again and again And we shall rise We shall rise again
