Hands up for the
ones
still fighting
We carry their names tonight
From the blocks to the border lines,
I see tired eyes Kids in the cold night praying that the
sun will rise Mothers hold the weight like the world on a
wire Some dreams get buried while the rich climb higher So I
speak for the quiet when the room goes still For the hands
that are empty and the hearts with will No cape,
no throne, just people trying to cope We can start with each
other, that is how we hold hope If we run as one,
no one falls behind Every broken road can turn with time
Let the whole world hear this open cry
We rise together, hearts in the sky For
every soul still holding on tonight One world,
one song, one reason to try We lift each other,
we
do not
let go From hurt
to hope, let the whole world know We rise together,
we rise I met a man with a grin but his rent
ran late Said pride tastes bitter when you cannot feed your plate
I know a girl with a book and a brilliant mind But
fear at home keeps stealing all her time
This is not pity,
this is truth on the drum If the door stays closed then
we kick it with love No flag means nothing if the people
feel unseen So we sing for the human,
not the headline dream
When the night feels long Hold on,
hold on When the world looks away
We stay, we stay We rise together,
hearts in the sky For every soul still holding on tonight One
world, one song, one reason to try We lift
each other, we do not let go From hurt to hope,
let the whole world know We rise together,
we rise We rise,
we
rise No one left
outside
