1st Verse (singing to Mother Earth)
Momma, we gather on your land
Seeking a higher wisdom
To help us better understand
That we are part of the Great Mystery
And the beauty of diversity
Yet our roots, they run deep in you
Chorus
We rise above
On the wings of hope
Conquer fear with love
Rise above the hate
Together we rise
Our hearts are here to shine
Many candles in the night
Stars light up the sky
Rise above the hate
Together we rise
Together we rise
(musical interlude- Native American Flute/Violin/Guitar/World Percussion)
2nd Verse (singing to each other)
Brother, won't you take my hand
I just can't understand
Why we got to hurt each other
Sister, the four winds hear your cries
It's time to dry our eyes
We stand with you, here tonight
Chorus Repeat
We rise above
Upon the wings of hope
Conquer fear with love
Rise above the hate
Together we rise
Our hearts are here to shine
Many candles in the night
Stars light up the sky
Rise above the hate
Together we rise
Together we rise
(musical outro- Native American Flute/Violin/Guitar/World Percussion)
Together we rise
