In the mist of the morning,
With a new day dawning,
In the hustle and bustle,
Of this crazy world we live in.

There is a time for cryin,
And a definite time for dyin,
But I don't think I'll be doin,
Either one today for I'm--

Gonna Rise up! From the lowest valley,
Scream from the highest mountain,
Sing to the top of my lungs,
It's a Glorious day!

I'm gonna Rise up,
and take my stand,
Love and unite with my fellowman,
And finally be what the Lord
has wanted me to be,
I'm gonna rise up today-- and I'm gonna be me.

You may not like the clothes I wear,
But the Lord above he does not care,
I am not judged for that stuff anyway,

You may not believe the way I believe,
And judging you isn't up to me,
There's a Lord above much bigger and stronger
Waiting for redemption so you can say

I'm--mmm

Gonna Rise up! From the lowest valley,
Scream from the highest mountain,
Sing to the top of my lungs,
It's a Glorious day!

I'm gonna Rise up,
and take my stand,
Love and unite with my fellowman,
And finally be what the Lord
has wanted me to be,
I'm gonna rise up today-- and I'm gonna be me.
