[Verse 1] You can laugh about it Something's in the air You can cry about it No one really cares No, nobody sees it You can sing about it Sing it in a prayer You can scream about it Hands up in the air No, you're not s'posed to feel it But now, now that we've seen it [Chorus] Rise up, right where they pushed you down Don't let nobody ever turn you 'round Try, try to believe it All the caring and hard work and trouble Is worth the chance [Verse 2] You can talk about it It was always there Ain't no doubt about it It ain't always fair So where do we take it from here? When life is what we make it [Chorus] Rise up, right where they pushed you down Don't let nobody ever turn you 'round Try, try to believe it All the caring and hard work and trouble Is worth the chance [Outro] Stand up while you still can Rise up, it's worth the chance Rise up [Outro] Keep 'em up, right where I can see them Keep your hands up high, right where I can see them Ain't no time for freedom Oh no, oh no, oh no You can laugh all about it If you will Something's in the air You can cry about it I said no one really cares Nobody sees it Sing it in a prayer You can scream about it Oh, but keep those hands in the air Right where I can see them Hands right in the air Ain't no time for freedom Keep your hands up, oh yeah Keep your hands up, oh yeah Keep your hands, oh right on up Keep your hands right on up where I can see them Keep 'em up, get 'em up Don't tire, where I can see 'em Come on, one time Laugh about it, if you will, if you will, if you will Haha
