Rise
Verse 1
...We feel agonizing irony...
Taking life through our hands, in our names
Are we reticent or blind?
We have marched to your drum and paid the price
with all we have!
Against our will and demands, again we stand:
Political victims waving their hands.
Our trust is gone!
Chorus 1
Rise! (Rise above this)
This is not the end above us
Rise! (Rise above this)
We're not held in a wired cage
Rise! (Rise above this)
The ladder of knives you climbed upon our backs
Rise! (Rise above this)
Will be the way you come back down!
Verse 2
...We have opened up our eyes...
Today I said I'd never see the sun again,
as it burst right through the sky.
See our will taking turns to find a way
out of your plans!
Taking hold of who we are as we watch,
blades fall into waiting hands.
Our trust is gone!
Chorus 2
Rise! (Rise above this)
It's happened far too many times
Rise! (Rise above this)
Everything in life is flawed
Rise! (Rise above this)
It's not too late to stop the fall
Rise! (Rise above this)
Arms bleeding, but it's not the end
