The King Is Rising Lyrics

every morning on the evening news

 I hear the same ol' story someone singing the blues

 disaster striking out and you're not ready

 California quakes and the Midwest floods

 see the hurricanes and the Malibu mud

 ice and snow, you know it drives you crazy

 

 I hear the prophet of the modern day

 shouting out from the side of the stage

 

 the kind is rising

 will you be ready to stand up and fight

 

 there's feeling all across the land

 times are tough--getting way out of hand

 crime is on the run and there's no safety

 war in the streets, the economy

 nothing stays the same and there's nothing for me

 everybody's frantic for the sure thing

 

 I see the prophet of the modern day

 stepping out from society's cage

 

 the king is rising

 will you be ready to stand up and fight

 the king is rising

 will you be ready to lay down your life

 

 I don't think he'll take any longer, no,

 I don't think he'll take any more

 

 (solo)

 

 the king is rising

 will you be ready to stand up and fight

 the king is rising

 will you be ready to lay down your life
