Lyrics
Rooster crows in the afternoon
Loud and hard as at early dawn
Another chance to resurrect
Long after the day is born
So rise again, rise anew
Please hear the call
A chance to fly
After a fall
Shake and shimmer in the breeze
Free and as wild as you please
Concrete melts away with ease
When you look up from the ground
So rise again, rise anew...
After a fall what can you be
Wings that reach up from the flames
Or only embers that remain
After a fall what can you see
Mountains push up through the blue
Or do they just block the view
It’s up to you
You’re too young to just stagnate
Life rolls along and it can’t wait
Like a stone the stream will wash over you
Join the current and flow on through
So rise again, rise anew...
