Rise
To the mother who's alone, who feels abandoned
To the father out of work so long he's lost
You're not alone
You're not alone
Rise

To the solider who's still carrying the wounded
To the family of the hero who's in pain
You're not alone
Not alone
Rise

There are wounds that cut beyond the flesh and bone
We can't carry this
Carry this alone
Healing waters cracks the sturdiest of stone
You are not alone

To a nation that is weary of the violence
To the people so divided so at odds
We are not alone
We are not alone
We're gonna rise
We all stand upon the shoulders of forefathers
Who bled upon the stripes, reached for the stars
And in our darkest days we look at them a compass
Reminds us who we are

Gonna rise
Gonna rise
Gonna rise

Gonna rise
Gonna rise
Gonna rise
