"Rise Up" Lyrics
INTRO
"The Victims are what mean the most to us and that we cared so much
about ... ."
"I just really feel that we are going to be known as the school that
overcame."
VERSE
(whoa) I know you're feelin' pain right now
(whoa) And you don't wanna talk right now
(whoa) I know you're going through something
And you don't want to be bothered right now (whoa)
Not gonna lie and say I understand
(whoa) I just wanna be here for you if I can
(whoa) To hold your hand and be by your side
And together we will get through these times
And we will cry together (uh huh)
And we'll fight this together (uh huh)
And we'll be strong together
Stand together
Pray together

CHORUS
Rise up
When you feel you can't go on
Rise up
And all of your hope is gone
Rise up
When you're weak and you can't be strong
Rise up (rise up)
Rise up
And when the tears start to fall
Rise up
And you feel you've given it your all
Rise up
When your back is up against the wall
Rise
Rise up

VERSE
(whoa) Now I know the burdens that you bear
(whoa) And you don't think nobody cares
(whoa) A storm comes out of nowhere
And you feelin' like it just ain't fair (whoa)
Not here to preach about the brighter side (no)
Cause I understand and now is not the time (oh)
See I just want to help you make it right
Walk with you, holding up candle lights

CHORUS
And we will cry together (we will cry together)
And we'll fight this together (stand up and fight)
And we'll be strong together (hey)
Stand together (stand together)
Pray together
Rise up (woo)
When you feel you can't go on (feel like you can't go on)
Rise up
And all of your hope is gone (all your hope is gone)
Rise up
When you're weak and you can't be strong (hey)
Rise (you gotta rise up yeah)
Rise up
And when the tears start to fall (yeah)
Rise up
And you feel you've given it your all
Rise up
When your back is up against the wall
Rise (rise)

BRIDGE
You see struggle
Struggle has no color hey
No color (hey)
In the midst of crisis
You are my sister (hey) and I'm your brother (yeah)
And side by side we'll face this thing
Standin' tall (standin' tall)
You and me (hey)

VAMP
Rise up
Rise
Rise up
Rise (Woo)
Rise up (Hey)
Rise
We will rise
Rise up
Heads up to the sky
Rise up
Rise
When all hope has fallen yeah
Rise up
We'll stand tall and believe (yes we will)
Rise
Rise up
And we gotta know tomorrow will come (yeah) and
Rise
Rise up
You will have the victory
Rise up
Hey Rise up Rise up
Rise
Rise up
Hey hey hey hey hey
Rise
Rise up
In the middle ... in the middle of your storm when you ... (rise up)
When you think you ... when you think you cannot make it rise up
Rise up (ooh)
Rise
Rise up (God bless you Virginia ... our hearts go out to you and your
families)
Peace
Rise up
