Rob Rock - The King Is Rising lyrics

Every morning on the evening news I hear the same ol' story someone singing the blues Disaster striking out and you're not ready California quakes and the Midwest floods See the hurricanes and the Malibu mud Ice and snow, you know it drives you crazy I hear the prophet of the modern day Shouting out from the side of the stage The king is rising Will you be ready to stand up and fight There's a feeling all across the land Times are tough--getting way out of hand Crime is on the run and there's no safety War in the streets, the economy Nothing stays the same and there's nothing for me Everybody's frantic for the sure thing I see the prophet of the modern day Stepping out from society's cage The king is rising Will you be ready to stand up and fight The king is rising Will you be ready to lay down your life I don't think he'll take any longer, no, I don't think he'll take any more (solo) The king is rising Will you be ready to stand up and fight The king is rising Will you be ready to lay down your life
