RISE
Presence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come together
Fortified
Shore to shore
And rise
The things that we have seen
May be sore to the eyes
Planes tore through the skies
Our way of life on hold
We never fold
We rise
Poor innocent lives
Friends, husbands, and wives
What do we say to our children
When we look into their eyes
One moment in time
Forever embedded in our minds
Through heartache and pain
We will find
An unrelenting pride
That we will not go down without a fight
Our way of life on hold
We never fold
We rise
Poor innocent lives
Friends, husbands, and wives
What do we say to our children when a mother or father dies?
Our way of life on hold
We never fold
We rise
Poor innocent lives
Friends, husbands, and wives
What do we say to our children
When we look into their eyes?
The lyrics of Presence's song "Rise" are an anthem of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. The song speaks to the experiences of the September 11th attacks and the aftermath that followed. The first verse of the song stresses the importance of unity and solidarity in moments of crisis. The call to "organize" and "come together" is an assertion that collective action is necessary to overcome obstacles. The phrase "fortified shore to shore" speaks to the way that the events of 9/11 united communities across the country in a common cause.
The second verse of the song embodies the pain and suffering that many experienced in the aftermath of 9/11. The "innocent lives" lost and the subsequent loss of "mothers and fathers" caused a great deal of suffering and uncertainty for many people. The song hints at the way that parents may struggle to explain to their children what has happened in the wake of the attacks. Yet, through all of this, the song asserts that individuals can find strength and pride in the face of hardship. The affirmation "We will not go down without a fight" underscores the idea that resilience is a form of resistance.
