Arise!
AmFAmFVerse 1AmFAmF
You've listened to too many liars too long
AmFAmF
And too many were your masters

You've got the chance here to right all the wrong
AmFAmF
Don't squander it on disaster

People have written you off many times
AmFAmF
but you are a great survivor

and though you have suffered some terrible crimes

I know it's just made you stronger

From the wasteland

AmFVerse 3AmFAmF
And cynics will tell you there's problems ahead
AmFAmF
But you go ahead and solve them
AmFAmF
They'll fill you with doubt and suspicion and dread
AmFAmF
But your strength can overcome them
CG
You got to face the critics down

Any fool can give in but you can't bow down

You got too many lives and futures in your hand
F
So save them while you can

To how you feel today

From the wasteland

And every road that I've walked down

Fear is not the answer

Arise!
AmFVerse 4AmFAmF
And though this is only the start I know
AmFAmF
How long they have kept you waiting
AmFAmF
No matter how far down the road you go
AmFAmF
The first few steps, a new beginning
CG
So grab the future with both hands
CF
Nobody said it'd be the promised land
CG
But you can make it better than it's ever been
F
So change it while you can
