Morning come and the rent still due Street wake up but the
work fall through
Shoes full dust on the broken lane Young hearts carry a quiet
pain I see promises peel from the wall
Big man talk but the paycheck small Still we rise when the
sun cut through Still we move,
what else can we do
Hold on, brother
Hold on, sister
Better days are coming Coming,
coming Lift your eyes to the morning To the morning Stand together,
keep on running Keep on running
One love strong, we keep believing Keep believing
Mama count coins by the kitchen light Youth them hustle till the
late-night sky
Bus stop crowded and the faces worn
Still a new dream get born each morn
Leaders sell words like a cheap parade We plant our hope where
the cracks have stayed From the hard gray street to the corner
shop
We bend, we bruise,
but we never stop Never stop We never stop Better
days are coming Coming,
coming Lift your eyes
to the morning To the morning Stand together,
keep on
running Keep on running One love strong,
we keep believing Keep believing If the road get rough,
we hold the line If the night stay long,
we guard the fire
Hand in hand till the day break wide Faith in the small
seed deep inside Rise up now
Rise up
now
Better days are coming Coming,
coming Lift your eyes to the morning To the morning Stand together,
keep on running Keep on running One love strong,
we keep believing Keep believing From these streets
we are rising
We are rising
New sun shine on the people
On the people
