Verse 1
 
G5                  C5           D5                 C5             G5   C5   D5 
Friends, foes and firewood are gathering in the tenements tonight 
          G5         C5                   D5         C5         G5     C5   D5 
While the fast ones amongst them brings home food for those too slow 
G5         C5              D5             C5  
For many years they have lived on the streets 
           G5             C5             D5          C5
And their freedom just a memory as the darkness repeats 
   G5         C5            D5        C5        G5  C5   D5
But somehow everything is turning upside down 
 

Pre Chorus 
 
E5   C5  D5                                   E5   C5    D5 
          And they've been sleeping in the subway 
                               E5   C5   D5 
The only place they call their own 
               E5                C5        D5 
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they 
 
 
Chorus 
 
G5  C5  D5               G5  C5  D5
Rise in their own way 
G5  C5  D5               G5  C5  D5
Rise in their own way 
 
 
Verse 2 
 
Their daughters ran away today, She didn't have a lot to say 
They wondered why she comes home twice a week 
To wash her clothes and watch her mother cry 
There's too many eyes watching her family home 
Now the seeds of revolution inside her are sown 
And somehow everything is turning upside down 
 
 
And they've been sleeping in the subway 
The only place they call their own 
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they 
 
Rise in their own way 
Rise in their own way 
 
 
Verse 3 
 
G5                  C5        D5          C5        G5        C5       D5     C5 
Her only daughter left her many years ago and still she dont know why
           G5                C5              D5      C5     G5 C5 D5
She said, don't you worry mother you will never see me cry? 
 
 
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they 
Rise in their own way 
Rise in their own way
