歌詞: Diane Birch. Bible Belt. Rise Up.

Vs.
Why not say it like it is
Like you know you should
Before they break your little heart
Ooh break it good

The feelings all the way inside
Never let you down
So why not say it like it is
Even if it don?t make your mama pround

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

Chrs.
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
Cuz love don?t come in black or white
Oh no no no

Vs.
My mama tells me I won?t get
Thru the pearly gates
Cuz 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
One lonely town

Chrs.
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
Cuz love don?t come in black or white
Oh no no no

Intsrum.

Chrs.
Rise up little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you?ve been told
Cuz love don?t come in black or white
It don?t come in black or white
