I'll Rise (asteroid)

There is an asteroid that’s headed for the crash test

There’s a tsunami at it’s crest but it hasn’t crashed yet

There’s manifest destiny , explain me to the red man

And what’s the one world threat that introduces Armageddon

What’s with that lump they found, yo, go check your mom’s mammogram

And what’s the deal with questions that make you fail history exams

I know about Hitler’s thesis, why exchange a thief for me

You try to extinguish my inner peace before you burn I’m dying to free you

I bet you wonder why

If there’s a God in the sky

Is he just closing His eyes?

But thanks to the fall, I’ll rise

Why’s the world afraid of snakes, but they’re also afraid of you?

Why do they hate your dad because he isn’t white, too?

And what’s the deal with droughts and floods and war and pestilence?

And who convinces governments to execute the innocent?

What is it about the green that makes sinners and saints both holler?

What does it profit man to lose his soul and gain a dollar?

I came to give you life and give it more abundantly

Deny me and defy but I still resolve set you free
