[Verse 1]
Look in my papers
See on the screen
Oppressive behavior
A fallen regime
It's not gonna happen here
That don't happen here
[Chorus]
Rise
Legion of hope
Rise
Don't give in
Lands of the sun
To where west was won
Rise
To the future
[Verse 2]
Political stranger
Under attack
Forever in danger
For stating the facts
It's not gonna happen here
It's not gonna happen here
[Chorus]
Rise
Legion of hope
Rise
Don't givе in
Lands of the sun
To where Wеst was won
Rise
To the future
Oh, oh
It's time to rise
Lose the disguise
From lands of the sun
To where West was won
Rise
For the future
Rise was written by Geoff Downes & John Payne (Asia).
