Every morning on the evening news
|
I hear the same ol’ story someone singing the blues
|
Disaster striking out and you’re not ready
|
California quakes and the Midwest floods
|
See the hurricanes and the Malibu mud
|
Ice and snow, you know it drives you crazy
|
|
I hear the prophet of the modern day
|
Shouting out from the side of the stage
|
|
The king is rising
|
Will you be ready to stand up and fight
|
|
There’s a feeling all across the land
|
Times are tough--getting way out of hand
|
Crime is on the run and there’s no safety
|
War in the streets, the economy
|
Nothing stays the same and there’s nothing for me
|
Everybody’s frantic for the sure thing
|
|
I see the prophet of the modern day
|
Stepping out from society’s cage
|
|
The king is rising
|
Will you be ready to stand up and fight
|
The king is rising
|
Will you be ready to lay down your life
|
|
I don’t think he’ll take any longer, no,
|
I don’t think he’ll take any more
|
|
(solo)
|
|
The king is rising
|
Will you be ready to stand up and fight
|
The king is rising
|
Will you be ready to lay down your life
