First Line:
Rise up, rise up & take your place
About the Song
Rise up, rise up
And take your place
Move to the head of the line
Join the human race
No more denyin’
Open your eyes & see
You gotta right sure as you’re breathin’
You got a right to be free!
You gotta right to feed your children
And help ‘em grow up strong
How can they shape the future
If they’re hungry all day long
So rise up...
You gotta a right to be angry
At a system that has failed
To honor all its people
You gotta right to be heard
So rise up...
