[Verse 1] Rise up, see for yourself You got to pull yourself up From the fires of Hell Rise up, and see for yourself When all the world's gone Nobody else And when the city spits itself out into that big ocean The wonderful wisdom of thee [Chorus 1] Quite a few shall wonder, very few shall know Everybody wants to change the world Everybody wonders where the red fern grows Everybody wants to save their souls And everybody wonders though very few shall know Wonders where the red fern grows And everybody wonders where the red fern grows [Verse 2] It's time to wake up early Start taking care of your health And start doing all the hard things And believe in yourself And follow your own heart, if nothing else And listen to your own dreams, nobody else's will do, will do [Chorus 2] Everybody wonders, very few shall know Everybody wants to change the world And everybody wonders where the red fern grows Everybody wants to save their souls You've been searching all your life For something 'til you realized That what you seek was with you all the time And everybody wonders where the red fern grows [Bridge] Sing a song for love, sing a song for love It's not hard to tell it's Christmas at the Flamingo Hotel [Instrumental Outro]
