GIVE US A RISE - PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE LYRICS

Hey, give us a rise
Give us a rise

Hey, give us a rise
Our thirsty fields are waitin'
The willow sags
Let's stop the disguise
Of shallow lifeless baitin'

I want you now
Well, strengthen the ties
Give us a rise

I don't want to know
All the ways you've thought to
Bring up what's been brought through
I'm findin' myself already free to blow

Hey, give us a rise
So we can make it known
No sunrise and we're not alone
In the storm at hand
Give us the land
The wild hog cries
Give us a rise

I don't want you to
I'm not the one you see in me
You give all that to free me
Knowin' myself already free to blow

Hey, give us a rise
