Empty street down the corner
I can't help but wonder
Now you can shine so bright
When you know that we live in a mad, mad world
You carry the blues all day long
And you sing your heart out to strangers
You carry the gold in your hands
Please don't let them steal your fire

Can you make me feel alive today?
Teach me how to play the blues that way
Let me bleed, let me lose
'Til we rise together, rise together

On my knees, why don't you sit?
It's always too fast or too easy
You'll never play the guitar on TV
But you'll learn how to be true and happy
Bring me back to the days when there was nothin' but soul and magic
And carry the gold in your hands
Please don't let them steal your fire

Can you make me feel alive today?
Teach me how to play the blues that way
Let me bleed, let me lose
'Til we rise together, rise together

Rise Together
