  21531>It used to be when things weren't right
  I do my share and join the fight
  And would surely stand and speak my mind
  Then I got lost along the way
  I spent my time chasing my own tail
  But I am here to say, I'm back to stay
  For I've been searching for the man I used to be
  I found him waiting, alive and well
  And he was screaming back at me
  "Rise and shine, show your color
  Now's the time, raise your hand
  Rise and shine, join your brother
  Draw the line, take a stand"
  I told my friend my change of heart
  He wished me well with my new start
  But then he turned away and slowly said
  "You know this world is such a mess
  I'm tired of trying to help, I guess"
  I said, "Well, what you give is what you'll get
  Somewhere inside you, lives the fighter I once knew
  The battle's raging, it's never over
  It's calling me, it's calling you"
  Rise and shine, show your color
  Now's the time, raise your hand
  Rise and shine, join your brother
  Draw the line, take a stand
