Biography:
Diane Birch (born January 24, 1983) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Her debut album "Bible Belt" was released in 2009 to positive reviews by critics.
With a childhood spent on the move, as the daughter of a preacher, living between Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia, before her parents finally settled in Portland, Oregon when she was in her early teens, Diane Birch absorbed a unique and very cosmopolitan perspective on life that shines through her music and makes a simple categorization of it impossible.

Rise Up by Diane Birch

The whole song is basically F (with a C in the bass) and C, with the F briefly
going to an F4 in the verse, and there's a G in the end of the chorus (exactly in
the word "told").
The little piano fill that introduces the song is A G E D C
I'm sure you'll figure out this song quite easily ;)
(piano fill) F F4 F
Why not say it like it is
C
Like you know you should
F F4 F
Before they break your little heart
C
Ooh, break it good
Feelings on the inside
Never let you down
So why not say it like it is
Even if it don't make your mama proud
Why change your mind when you make it up
Second chances don't come easy, easy for some
Baby I don't know the lock from the key
But I know one of them is you
And the other one's me
F C
So if it's happiness you want
F C
That's what you'll get
F
You gotta rise up, little sister
C
Turn on the light
F G
Wise up to the stories you've been told
F
'Cause love don't come in black or white
F4 F C
No no no no.
My mama tells me I won't get through the pearly gates
'Cause I ain't sorry for my sins
And all my mistakes
Mama I don't know if I'm goin' up or down,
But I know heaven's gonna be one lonely town
But if it's happiness you want,
That's what you'll get
You gotta rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black or white
Whoa no no no, whooo no.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (etc.)
Rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
Whoaaa yeah
Rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black or white
No no, it don't come in black or white
Whooa ooooh
Rise up, open your eyes
Love don't come in black or white
Whoa uh uh, no
Wise up to the stories you've been told
You know, love don't come in black or white
Little sister, you gotta rise up
