We Will Rise
The earth groans
She cries out in pain
Her warriors of ice melt away
She burns in the heat
As we rage
Her waters and shores bear our weight
But we will rise
From the ashes to blue skies
We will sing of a world
That is free
Free to breathe
Free to live
In a unity of life
We arise all people
We arise
Like a seed toward the sky
We will raise our hands on high
We will give it all our thought
For one mother ‘s all we’ve got
There is nowhere left to go
This is our home
One earth
Has us all in her hold
We will rise
From the ashes….
Look to your heart and you’ll know
Stand together in one hope
Sing of a world that is free
Let’s begin it
You and me
We will rise
From the ashes….
We will rise
Stand together
Stand high
We will rise
Oh all people
Stand high
We will rise
From the ashes to blue skies
We will sing of that world
That is free
Free to breathe
Free to live
In a unity of life
We arise all people
We arise
