Rise Up

So much trouble
So much hate
So many people dying
In this day and age
Children crying, women rage
And still you can’t find time to speak
You don’t understand
“We’re fighting for what we believe in” (they say)
So wait there during the lyin’
‘cause genocide isn’t human (is it?)
Whoever taught you that
Has lost all their logic and reason

Can’t we put differences aside?

We know all want the same
To live in peaceful love and compassion
Are we not the same?
Before these events and manipulation
We’ve all made mistakes
So why just defy retaliation?
We need to understand this is all our land

So we rise up
Rise above the hate
And learn to compromise
And look for a better way
When will we wake up
And see this killing is inhumane
I know you’re scared
We’ve got to love again
Love again
Can’t we love?

It’s possible, I know
It’s possible to coexist
But we’ve got to rise above hatred
Greed and salary differences
We’re not extremists
We must compromise and learn to forgive
Unless we wanna keep on living like this
Not knowing what life truly is

So we rise up
Rise above this hate
And learn to compromise
And look for a better way
When will you wake up
See this killing is inhumane
I know you’re scared
We’ve got to love again
Love again

We’re all responsible
Together we are powerful
So let’s unite
And won’t hate no more
We can stop this war
Let’s stop a war

So we rise up
Come on rise above this hate
And learn to compromise
And look for a better way
When will you wake up
See this killing is inhumane
I know you’re scared my love
Yeah you’re scared my love

So rise above this hate
And learn to compromise
And look for a better way
When will you wake up
See this killing is inhumane
Yeah I know you’re scared
You’ve got to love again
Love again
Love again

So rise up
Rise up against evil
Rise up against hell
(Rise up, rise up)
Rise up, rise up
(Rise up, rise up)
Rise up, rise up
(Rise up, rise up)
Why we living so desperately
Why we living so stressfully
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Rise up
