Rise up

Lyrics

In the shadow of the steeple, where the silver tongues reside, Whispers of prosperity, they’re selling dreams with pride. “Just send your faith and fortune, your troubles will all cease,” But the truth behind their messages is a hunger for the fleece. Oh, rise up, see the light, Don't be led by their deceitful might. Greed and gold can't save your soul, In the name of love, they take their toll. They preach of lavish blessings, while the poor are cast aside, Promises of riches, but it’s just a wolf in disguise. With every heartfelt sermon, they’re counting up the gain, But the heart of true compassion is drowned in their disdain. Oh, rise up, see the light, Don't be led by their deceitful might. Greed and gold can't save your soul, In the name of love, they take their toll. Beware the false prophets, with their glittering façade, Preying on the broken, while they dance with empty odds. True faith is not for sale, it’s a gift that’s given free, In the arms of love and mercy, that’s where we should be. Oh, rise up, see the light, Don't be led by their deceitful might. Greed and gold can't save your soul, In the name of love, they take their toll. So stand against the tide, let the truth be your guide, With hearts united, we’ll cast the darkness aside. In the face of false teachings, let our voices ring, For the love that’s pure and holy, that’s the song we’ll sing.
