I get up in the morning Hear the work bell warning Shuffle to my 9 to 5
F Dm C
I come home in the evening I get that feeling, Lord, I start to come alive

F Dm C
All I want is the love my baby keeps my soul in line

One of these days I'm gonna rise up, singing with you

One of these days I'm gonna rise up, yes it's true
Verse II
C
Now I found out about pain and doubt Long, long time ago
F Dm C
But she cured my blindness With love and kindness Stays no matter where I go

Now I heard people, all the people talking (that's right) They just don't understand, no
F Dm C
There's no good reason to go on explaining when a woman's in love with her man
Chorus II
Bb F C
One of these days I'm gonna rise up, singing with you

One of these days I'm gonna rise up, yes it's true
