You can feel a change in the atmosphere
The future's calling, dissolving lack n fear
Can you sense it, can you sense it too?
What we wished for, is finally comin' true!

Heavenly voices are filling the void
Building back what bad choices
have killed and destroyed

Ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can you hear the Spirit calling?
Ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our cities are eroding n falling

Rise again, rise again
Like a Phoenix -- rising from the ashes
Rise again, rise again
To the zenith -- like a rite of passage
(Rise again, rise again)

This country is burnin', we've waited too long
For the tide to start turnin', to right what's wrong
Simple truths are comin', back to life
Cutting thru lies, like an axe or a knife

Ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can you hear the Spirit calling?
Ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A new day is here n dawning...

Rise again, rise again
Like the sun on the horizon
Rise again, rise again
Like Neptune or Poseidon

Rise from death, in a state of change
Nothing left, will stay the same
Hand in hand, we'll pave the way
To the promised land, to a brighter day

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ohhh-oh-oh-oh
Rise again, rise again
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Rise again, rise again
Like a Phoenix -- from the ashes
Rise again, rise again
To the zenith -- a rite of passage

(Rise, rise, rise)
Like a fiddler from the ashes
(In spite of MSM lies)
We ain't Hitler, we ain't fascists

(Rise, rise, rise)
Like a fiddler from the ashes
(In spite of MSM lies)
We ain't Hitler, we ain't fascists

Somethin' drastic's bout to happen
Bringin' changes that are massive
Take time to be active, not passive
Important documents will be redacted

Rise again, rise again
Like a Phoenix -- rising from the ashes
Rise again, rise again
To the zenith -- like a rite of passage
