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
