This track was written in five minutes during a late night writing binge. This was going to be the first song on Blake's solo album, but it was decided that it was too political...

lyrics

TIME TO RISE UP

I’m serving it up
This tune that I’m holdin’
This rhythm inside of me
Is now explodin’
It’s heating me up
I’m hot from the inside
And I’ve got this feeling I can’t hide

I’m lying it down
And I’ve got this notion
That this motion around’s
like an ocean of sound
And I’m drownin’ deep in the night
And the beginning is far outta sight

And all of this time that it’s taken
Is leaving me stranded here
lost and forsaken
But this Foundation is soon to be shaken
This slumbering giant is soon to awaken

It’s time to rise up and take what is ours
And finally forgive for the fall of the towers
It’s time to move on and straight rise like the sun
Cause the dawn of our destiny’s only begun

(INSTRUMENTAL)

This is the calm
Before the storm
It’s time to come out now from where we were born
Cause we have no choice
The time is now
We must raise our voice without worrying how

Cause all of this time
That it’s taken
Has left us stranded here lost and forsaken
But this foundation is soon to be shaken
This slumbering giant is soon to awaken
