Glen Phillips & Toad Lyrics

Rise up

You seek an end to the questions A ladder to the sky A childrens dream where we never die There is a fog through the canyon A vapor in the keep Lulling us gently into sleep And we will not wake ever Unless we rise up early Rise up early They cast your brother as a demon You lover as a whore All manner of lies justify our wars They sell the water in the well now The stars in the sky There's nothing so sacred we won't buy And it will not change (stop) ever Unless we rise up early Rise up early Rise up Rise up Rise up There is a silence in the bedroom A rustle in the hall In the shadow of a love that became a wall And it will not fall ever
