Rise Up Babylon

Renaissance

I want a renaissance to shine a light

Be the change we want, set things right

We’ve been waiting in the dark

For so long

I want awakening in my heart

Hear the angels sing and shine a spark

We’ve been sleeping in the dark

For so long

But I believe in truth

Guess I’m not so unlike you

‘Cause there’s a sound like music

In you trying to get out

So let it sing through everything

That is you now

I want a miracle of my own

Leave my father’s world

That I’ve outgrown

I’ve been hiding here alone for so long

But I believe it’s true

I believe it is true

That I’m not so unlike you 

I am like you

‘Cause there’s a sound like music

In you trying to get out

So let it sing through everything

That is you 

Now

We are many voices ringing in the dawn

Only through our choices can freedom carry on

We are many voices singing hope along

With our very own songs

There is a sound like music

In you dying to get out

And let it sing through everything

Through everything, through everything

So let it sing through everything

Through everything

So let it sing through everything

That is you now

I want a renaissance

We’ve been sleeping in the dark 

For too long
