Rise Up Lyrics - Bible Belt - Diane Birch

Why not say it like it is, like you know you should 

Before they break your little heart, oh break it good 

The feelings all the way inside, they never let you down 

So why not say it like it is even if it don't make your mama proud 

Why change your mind when you make it up? 

Second chances don't come easy, easy for some 

Baby I don't know the lock from the key 

But I know one of them is you and the other one's me 

So if it's happiness you want that's what you'll get 

You gotta rise up little sister turn on the light 

Wise up to the stories you've been told 

'Cause love don't come in black or white 

Oh, no, no, no 

My mama tells me I won't get through the pearly gates 

'Cause I ain't sorry for my sins and all my mistakes 

Well mama, I don't know if I'm going up or down 

But I know heaven's gonna be a one lonely town 

But if it's happiness you want that's what you'll get 

You gotta rise up little sister turn on the light 

Wise up to the stories you've been told 

'Cause love don't come in black or white 

Oh, no, no, no 

Oh yeah, rise up little sister turn on the light 

Wise up to the stories you've been told 

Rise up little sister turn on the light 

Wise up to the stories you've been told 

'Cause love don't come in black or white 

Rise up little sister turn on the light 

Wise up to the stories 

Rise up open your eyes 

Love it don't come in black or white 

Oh no, wise up to the stories you've been told 

You know love it don't come in black or white 

Little sister you got to rise up
