When the days grow cold
In this dead gray town
All the doors stay closed
Silence breaks the sound of your heartbeat
You're just nineteen, feeling old
Rise up, reach up to the sun till we drop
Rise up, never going down, down, down, don't stop
Rise up, lift your eyes and climb to the top
Rise up, together
Winter turns to Spring
All our friends are gone
When the church bells start to ring
No one comes to sing in the choir
Holding flowers no one brings
Rise up, reach up to the sun till we drop
Rise up, never going down, down, down, don't stop
Rise up, lift your eyes and climb to the top
Rise up, together
There's a place I know where us misfits go
In the candlelight at night black roses grow
Through the darkness on our journey to the light
Rise up, reach up to the sun till we drop
Rise up, never going down, down, down, don't stop
Rise up, lift your eyes and climb to the top
Rise up, together
Rise up, oh, rise
