Rise up you lonely wanderers
 rise up you hungry people
 the hurricane is coming
 the land will soon be flooded
 The past is dead and over
 rise up now and claim your freedom
 You are the sleeping giant
 Arise, arise, arise
 do not beg for your salvation
 from preachers, kings or masters
 the people hold the power
 arise and claim your freedom
 the wealthy enjoy services
 only at your acquiescence
 only while you stay in darkness
 arise arise arise
 'Cause in the end
 freedom will be
 international
 while politicos divide us
 they demand their compensation
 they should pray we don't refuse them
 arise and claim your freedom
 the powerful, the wealthy
 they are only human beings
 on earth we all are equal
 arise arise arise
 while all of us were sleeping
 the stockholders got richer
 at the expense of all our children
 arise and claim your freedom
 they are frightened of our numbers
 and of our inter-dependance
 and rightfully they should be
 arise arise arise
 'Cause in the end
 freedom will be
 international
 Do not numb yourself with purchases
 or vain over-consumption
 do not isolate your spirit
 arise and claim your freedom
 Your tv and your radio
 seek to keep you in your slumbers
 step out into the sunlight
 arise arise arise
 Rise up you lonely wanderers
 rise up you hungry people
 the hurricane is coming
 the land will soon be flooded
 The past is dead and over
 rise up now and claim your freedom
 you are the sleeping giant
 arise arise arise
 'Cause in the end
 freedom will be
 'cause in the end
 freedom will be
 international
