And We Rise

So do you understand
Or will you leave it all to us
It's time to make a stand
To demonstrate we've had enough

And can you justify
Will you let them take you for a fool
Amid the hue and cry
You have to hold on harder to the truth

And we rise as it all falls down
We stand tall as we answer the call

There's more of us each day
The time for change has finally come
There's just no other way
That we'll ever get this done

It's quite a simple choice
Until the day they come for you
It's time to raise your voice
And meet us at the rendezvous

Or will you just go to the Lanc
With your friends and laugh with
Jeff, the zoologist
Who greets all animals
By their full scientific name

I think he sounds pretentious
But he says he's just being polite
And Jeff says we're all just animals
And politics is just a made-up idea
That never changed anything

So the topic changes to
Why petrol's so expensive nowadays
Jeff blames the lack of dinosaurs
And everyone finds that hilarious

But I see you Jeff and I see what you're doing

And we rise as it all falls down
We stand tall as we answer the call

And we rise as it all falls down
We stand tall as we answer the call
