von Grey - Rise Up Lyrics

When the sky had fallen
And the rains came down
When the water rose up
All the town was still
Though the land was covered
The waters did recede
And soon again (echo 2x)
The music will be played

It started slowly
Lasted three long days
All the rivers swollen
Taking back the land
Swallowed live an' homestead
Not a one to spare
Doesn't matter black or white, rich or poor
The rain just don't care

Chorus:
We're gonna rise up
Praise up
Dry up
Raise up
Take back this land
It's all we own
We're gonna rise up
Praise up
Dry up
Raise up
Music's in the country
And the country is our home

When the sun came out
Saw the damage done
We prayed for the souls
That the Lord took home
And we gathered strength
We knew we could
When we looked to the town
And saw the grand ol' house still stood

Chorus

Rain, rain, go away
Rain pouring
Rain, rain, go away
Rivers growing
Rain, rain, go away
Sun will rise

Chorus (x2)
