Lyrics

Rise Up Singin’

My hometown streets I don't recognize
I've seen chaos and pain in dying eyes
But oh I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise up singin'

No food, no money, no family
They are now the angels that set me free
For them I sing, for their memory
I'm gonna rise up singin'

Chorus
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
With love, I'm gonna rise up singin'
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
With love, I'm gonna rise up singin'

Oh, I won't deny my grief
My anger and my disbe lief
But maybe I can bring myself and others relief
If I rise up singin'

There is one thing that will never change

One thing that can't be taken away
The spirit of love that walks with us each day
That helps us rise up singin'

Chorus

I will love and serve those left be hind
Easing suffering becomes my only peace of mind
Hand in hand one day we may find
We all rise up singin'

Someday when I've done all I can
To care well for my fellow man
When my spirit flies far from this land
I'm gonna rise up singin'

Chorus
