We Rise

Sun setting on the sky
The cities say goodbye
To their nightlife and their people on streets passing by
News tells us to stay safe
To avoid all embrace
While the heroes of our world risk everything for our future days

The fear is unleashing
Cause everything is shifting
Uncertainty is threatening our best

But we'll, rise
We'll rise
To avoid the need of running
To be kinder and more loving
And come
We'll come
To the aid of one another
To protect us like brothers

Overwhelming describes
The feeling that's stuck inside
From the indifference, the injustice, and people losing their lives
But it pushes us to care
To unite against unfair
To shine a light upon everything beautiful about this earth

Masks are being sewed
There're chants to transform
Applause for heroes on the streets
There're virtual grand gestures
Kind strangers, connections
Actions that make us believe

Cause we, rise
We rise
To avoid the need of running
To be kinder and more loving
And come
We come
To the aid of one another
To protect us like brothers

At a time where all contact became dangerous
We discovered there're no barriers for love
Words, songs, looks, smiles, and distant hellos
Became hugs and kisses from soul to soul
Because people who are true to themselves rise up
Making this world a brighter place
Saving our lives and inspiring us
In sneaky and breathtaking ways

Cause we, rise
We rise
To avoid the need of running
To be kinder and more loving
And come
We come
To the aid of one another
To protect us like brothers

And show, we'll show
Appreciation for all we have
For the ones who hug us tight
And say
We'll say
Thank you to our people
Call them artists, call them teachers
Thank you to our people
Call them misfits, call them leaders
Thank you to our people
Front line workers, call them heroes
