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

She said, d[G]on't you worry mo[C]ther you will n[D]ever se[C]e me c[G]ry[C]? [D]
Eventually they rise, yes they rise and they
Rise in their own way
Rise in their own way
Note: You can substitute the C's after the D's for Em's if you think that
sounds better
