Rise Up

Can you hear the children crying
Won't you join the marches in the streets
Are you blind to the forgotten
While their tears run beneath your feet
We don't have long
And the load just gets more heavy by the day
Empty promises keep leading us astray
From this precious gift of life
Won't somebody tell me why we have no say

Everybody rise up
Come and lift your signs up
Be the generation to restore
The hope of huddled masses on the shore
If you're sick of being lied to
There's a million more just like you
Let the revolution take control
Feel the power deep within your soul

Tell me who are we, and are we worthy
Of this freedom that we fight for every day
And who are they, if not deserving
Of the dignity to keep their family safe
We don't have long
With our ruin waiting just around the bend
We can't sleep when there are children to defend
One for all and all for one
What would you not do for your daughters and your sons

Everybody rise up
Come and lift your signs up
Be the generation to restore
The hope of huddled masses on the shore
If you're sick of being lied to
There's a million more just like you
Let the revolution take control
Feel the power deep within your soul

(Rise up. Rise up. Rise up. Rise up)

Everybody rise up
Come and lift your signs up
Be the generation to restore
The hope of huddled masses on the shore
If you're sick of being lied to
There's a million more just like you
Let the revolution take control
Feel the power deep within your soul
