Rise (stand Up) Lyrics

Sylvia Simone Rise (stand Up)

Rise (Stand Up)
D. patterson, c. mcrae

My children gather round
It's time to rise up cause we've been held down
Start Preparing for a brand new day
Don't let anything get in your way

It's time to

Rise/ stand up
Rise/ it's a brand new day

Hold your head up walk with pride
Don't be afraid cause I'm by your side
We've got to keep making a better way
‘cause the future is here today

Rise/ stand up
Rise/ it's a brand new day

Remember all the things that you've been through
It's been hard rewards are way past due
It didn't beat us - made us stronger
But we might have to fight just a little bit longer

Rise/ stand up
Rise/ it's a brand new day

Now's the time hold you head up
Walk with pride
Touch the sky hold you head up
Walk with pride
