Rise Up!
(C) Steve Robb Music 2025 (ASCAP)
We gotta Rise Up! We gotta Rise Up!
Lift our song above the noise
We gotta Rise Up! We gotta Rise Up!
They can't take away our voice!
There are no thrones in the White house
Nor kings, queens or lords
No crown appears on our emblems
Our land is where the eagle soars
Two hundred fifty years of freedom
Reduced to a funeral pyre
Burning bridges and hopes and dreams
And all the world admired
Their flag wrapped promises lie broken
They're pushed the bounds of what is right
We have no place for a dictator
Who think he can command with might
This is not the time for waiting
Or praying for a sudden change
Let's put our marching boots on the ground
And blow them all away!
Every day brings new outrage
The constitution cries
We're a land of checks and balances
Not a pack of lies
We have the strength in numbers
In the streets we show our pride
No more silent revolution
Lets us raise our voices high
When this nightmare is over, I'm gonna
Breathe freedom in
And reach out to my neighbors
And welcome them back
To the big tent, the party, the sharing, the world!
