Rise Up
The Freedom Affair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don′t be afraid
Stand up for your sister
Gotta stop this charade
People putting down what you do
Sisters need your help and brothers too
Let your heart be your guide
Your strength can push us through
Progress
We can't run away
This world needs a new light
A new order today
Brothers calling up and what they know
Y′all decided how to listen, learn, and grow
Don't be numb to your sisters
More loving will show
Let's groove toward a brighter day
Together we can find a better way (Rise up)
Let′s groove toward a brighter day
Together we can find a better way (Rise up)
Let′s groove toward a brighter day
Together we can find a better way (Rise up)
Let's groove toward a brighter day
Together we can find a better way (Rise up)
Let′s groove toward a brighter day
Together we can find a better way (Rise up)
Let's groove toward a brighter day
Together we can find a better way (Rise up)
Let′s groove toward a brighter day
Together we can find a better way (Rise up)
