Key  Dm7

             Dm
These days I feel like the world isn't real
                                                            A7
Like somethin's been foggin' my mind
        Dm
The things that I see are not reality
                                              A7       Dm
There's somethin' much different inside
       Am                         Gm
For all of my life since I was a little baby
     Am                        Gm

I’d feel like I did not belong
       Am                                             Gm

The things I believed were not the things I would see
             Bb              A7             Dm
I was singing someone else’s song
                        Bb                    A7   Dm

Like I was singin' someone else's song

All of these years I been dancin' in fear

Of livin' my different life

Twisted and tried till I almost denied

The me that's been waitin' inside

Walkin' this world oh, but just not of it

Waitin' for some heavenly sign

The time is at hand for we children of the ancients

I hear the message comin' in

I feel the stirring within

Here and now I begin to be the me I've always been

Bb           A7     
Rise up step into the power
Bb                          A7    

Rise up over the world
Bb                   A7     

Rise up if you feel the what I’m singin'
     Gm              
Or maybe you been waitin* for a signal
Am              
Maybe you feel now the time is right
Bb              
Maybe you've been keepin' a vigil
          A7     
Well, knock knock (hello) Knock, knock (wake up)
                              Dm              
Knock, knock (rise up)

Like a renegade, renegade bring in the Light

Watch the illusions fall

Birthing a new age turning a new page

Bringing the sweet sweet dawn

A cosmic revolution

Sweeping the near and the far

Freedom's evolution

I'm throwing off limitations

I'm cleansing my heart and mind

Love wash through me peace come to me

One in the Family of Light

CHORUS

                Dm                          A7     
(part 1) Love love love Light Light Light
(part 2) Rise up into my power Throw off limitations
(part 3) Love Light
