Songs
Rise Up!
Chorus: “Rise up! Rise up!
Rise up and claim the day!
Stand tall! Hold…. Strong!
As ‘one,’ we’ll find a way.
1)Let ‘We the People’ be heard,
the power, the words.
We’ll act on our beliefs.
With goodness in hand,
throughout this great land,
we’ll be Democracy….
2) We won’t be denied or be pushed aside
by hatred, greed or lies.
Where fairness is long
our calling, our song–
Let justice be our cry!
3) Courage we’ll show,
a hope that will flow
from what we say and do.
To fight for our rights,
we’ll reach for the heights–
to our nation’s heart…. be true.
4) To protect who we are,
both near and afar,
we’ll have our Spirit grow.
For if it’s to be
still the land of the free,
It’s ‘up to us’ — to make it so.
