I wanna rise above you and me Till every woman and man is free And I won't settle for the commonplace Cause I want the light of the truth Look for a second at the second had How fast it's ticking time away But we keep killing me and taking lands The blood of hundreds in a day We never even take the time to see their faces We're throwing bullets through the air If we made up our minds to sit in conversations It would be the start of repair I wanna rise above you and me Till every woman and man is free And we won't settle for the olden days They're not gonna silence the truth We close the prison bars on other men Throw them in cages at our will But he who holds himself dominant Will find in his mind the same jail We never even take the time to hear their voices We bang the gavel without care But if we come around to understand their choices We'll find the common ground we share I wanna rise above you and me Till every woman and man is free And I won't settle for the commonplace I'm gonna fight for the truth Therefore, I'm finding the center The light of the candle, burning inside Therefore, I have something to care for Something I can't ignore, and I can't deny Look for a second at the second hand And just how many fill a day We still have time until the record ends To carry on in a new way The game is anyone's and our generation can take it with our song and dance We can't continue on this road of separation We'll win the day we join our hands I wanna rise above you and me Till every woman and man is free And I won't settle for the commonplace I'm gonna fight for the truth I'm gonna fight for the truth I'm gonna fight for the truth
