Verse 2 
 
Their daughters ran away today, She didn't have a lot to say 
They wondered why she comes home twice a week 
To wash her clothes and watch her mother cry 
There's too many eyes watching her family home 
Now the seeds of revolution inside her are sown 
And somehow everything is turning upside down 
 
 
And they've been sleeping in the subway 
The only place they call their own 
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they 
 
Rise in their own way 
Rise in their own way 
 
 
Verse 3 
 
G                  C        D          C        G        C       D     C Her only daughter left her many years ago and still she dont know why
           G                C              D      C     G C DShe said, don't you worry mother you will never see me cry? 
 
 
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they 
Rise in their own way 
Rise in their own way
