[Verse]

We seek an end to the questions

A ladder to the sky

A Bb Dm

a children's dream where we never die

There is a fog through the canyon

a vapor in the keep

A Bb Dm

lulling us gently into sleep

[Chorus]

F Gsus4

And we will not wake ever

Unless we rise up early

Am Dm

Rise up early

[Verse]

They cast your brother as a demon

your lover as a whore

A Bb Dm

all manner of lies justify our wars

They sell the water in the well now

the stars in the sky

A Bb Dm

there's nothing so sacred that we won't buy

[Chorus]

F Gsus4

And it will not change ever

Unless we rise up early

Am Bb

Rise up early

[Bridge]

Bb Am

Rise up

Am Bb

Rise up

Bb C

Rise up

[Outro]

There is a silince in the bedroom

A rustle in the hall

A Bb Dm

in the shadow of a love that became a wall

F Gsus4

and it will not fall ever
