Sylvia Simone - Rise (Stand Up) lyrics

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
