RISING

Did I win big with red on the spin
Cheered by whiskey women and wine
To get carried up high from the inn
Oh no...
So let's do it different this time

Did I magic from a rat to a prince
Find a love before twelve could chime
Did she remain my girl ever since
Oh no...
So let's do it different this time

Did I pitch a get-rich-quick scheme
Make a dollar from every dime
Did I live the American Dream
Oh no...
So let's do it different this time

Did I cut a deal with a deity
And by prayer out smart the divine
Did I out think and outrun society
Oh no...
So let's do it different this time

Did I say that's all I can give
When He gave us his only son
Did I say that's all I can give
Oh no...
Then He showed me the rising sun
