Rise Up Now

Rise Up Now

They took our hope, they stole our voice,
But silence is no longer choice.
We’ve been waiting, holding ground,
Now it’s time to shake the sound.

The streets are humming with the flame,
And every voice will call their name.

Rise up now, don’t fade away,
This is our time, this is our day.
From the ashes, from the pain,
We will never bow again.
Rise up now, let justice shout,
That’s what this fight’s about.
Hear the people, hear the vow —
We won’t be silent, rise up now!

They built their towers, tall with lies,
But truth still burns in every eye.
We’ve got power, we’ve got song,
Together we can right the wrong.

Every step, a battle cry,
Every dream refuses to die.

Rise up now, don’t fade away,
This is our time, this is our day.
From the ashes, from the pain,
We will never bow again.
Rise up now, let justice shout,
That’s what this fight’s about.
Hear the people, hear the vow —
We won’t be silent, rise up now!

Let the drums shake the street,
Hear the rhythm, feel the beat.
Every voice, every sound,
Turns this world around and around.

Rise up now, the tide has turned,
Every lesson hard-earned.
From the dark, we found our light,
We will march into the night.
Rise up now, we take the stand,
Power’s back in the people’s hand.
Hear the crowd, hear the vow —
We are the change — rise up now!
