You say your days are far gone
Somewhat lost
Completely wrong
Molten steel in your veins
Urging you forward
Bigger battles been won
Stronger men overcome
Listen to the words you say
Moving you forward
I reserve the right to believe
That in the end
You'll make it out clean
With a packet of matches and a tank of gasoline
You'll rise up Mary
You'll see
You'll rise up Mary
You'll see
You'll rise up Mary
You'll see
Yeah you'll see
Water's rising to the breach
Pushing harder
Can barely breathe
Reach your fingers to the shore
Pulling you forward
I reserve the right to believe
That in the end
You'll make it out clean
With a packet of matches and a tank of gasoline
You'll rise up Mary
You'll see
You'll rise up Mary
You'll see
You'll rise up Mary
You'll see
You'll see
The waiting and waiting
For your chance to come around
The longer you hold on
The slower you drown
So rise up Mary
You'll see
So rise up Mary
You'll see
You'll rise up Mary
You'll see
You'll rise up Mary
You'll see
