There`s a penny poised on a whitewashed fence
There`s a little black boy praying for his government
There`s a nervous lady reaching for her place
There`s a red faced son running from his race
Everything that rises
Everything that rises
Everything that rises must converge
This is my country-this is your sign-
We are painting fences, drawing lines
Well I don`t know much about anything
And I don`t know much about conversation
Look at me, look at me giving my weakness away
Do you know Coventry-ribbons and bows-
She will throw confetti in your soul
Well I don`t know much about anything
And I don`t know much about conversation
Look at me, look at me giving my weakness away Send " Everything That Rises" Ringtone to your Cell
