lyrics

Rise Again by Niki Black

The preacher man –
He says we’re all God’s sons and daughters
If that’s the truth,
How is one above the other?

And the wise man says –
We’re different shades of black
Then why, oh why,
Don’t anybody know that?

Prechorus :
And I see their glares,
Their disapproving stares
They say “Go to where you belong”

Chorus:
But I’m a phoenix, mama
And they just feed the flame
I’m a phoenix, mama
And if they burn me I will rise again
I will rise again

And our country says –
All men are created equal
If that’s the truth,
How are we the lesser people?

“I have a dream”
That’s what the king told us
Then why, oh why
Do we let the past control us?

Prechorus
Chorus

And my brother says
“It’s not your place to speak”
That change don’t come
From the voice of just one

So come with me, mama
And they will feed the flame
Be a phoenix, mama
And we will rise again.
