Rise Together
There is room at the top
When we build more stairs
Somebody showed
me where to stand
Shared a lesson, offered a hand
Opened a door I could not see
And said, "Walk through,
then do this for three"
So when I learn a better way
I will not hide
what helped me change
Knowledge grows when it is shared
Hope gets stronger when somebody cares
A victory grows
When the circle gets wide
We rise even higher
when we stand side by side
Lift
as we climb
Leave nobody low
Share what you learned
Show somebody the road
Open the door
Make the circle wide
We rise even higher
When we lift as we climb Lead vocal: Can one light make
two?
It can make a whole room shine!
Lead vocal: Can one dream make room?
Yes, when we lift as we climb!
Give the newcomer time to grow
Tell them what you wish you used to know
Recommend the quiet, faithful one Celebrate the work before it has won
Success is more than being seen
It is building places people can dream
A higher seat should help us view
More ways to make a path come through
A victory grows
When the circle gets wide
We rise even higher
when we stand side by side Lift as we climb
Leave nobody low
Share what you learned
Show somebody the road
Open the door
Make the circle wide We rise even higher
When we lift as we climb
Giving away a spark Makes the whole room bright
Sharing a map Does not shorten your flight
Your win is still yours
When another person grows A beautiful future
Is a future everybody knows (ooh-yeah)
Lift as we climb
Leave nobody low
Share what you learned
Show somebody the road
Build another stair
Make the circle wide We rise even higher
When we lift as we climb
Lift as we climb Let every heart know
There is room for your dream
There is room for us all
Leave the ladder standing Leave the light turned on
