Strum
D-DU-UDU
Friends,  foes and firewood  are gathering  in the tenements  tonight
 While the fast  ones amongst  them brings home  food for  those too  slow
For  many years  they have lived  on the streets
 And their freedom  just a memory  as the darkness  repeats
 But  somehow everything  is turning  upside  down
 Pre Chorus
 And they've been sleeping in the subway
 The only place they call their own
 Eventually they  rise, yes they rise  and they
Rise  in  their own way
Rise  in  their own way
 Their daughters ran away today, She didn't have a lot to say
 They wondered why she comes home twice a week
 To wash her clothes and watch her mother cry
 There's too many eyes watching her family home
 Now the seeds of revolution inside her are sown
 And somehow everything is turning upside down
 And they've been sleeping in the subway
 The only place they call their own
 Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they
 Rise in their own way
 Rise in their own way
Her  only daughter left  her many  years ago  and still  she dont  know  why
 She said, don't  you worry mother  you will never  see  me cry?
 Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they
 Rise in their own way
 Rise in their own way
 Note: You can substitute the C's after the D's for Em's if you think that
  sounds better
