lyrics

“Rise”
Written by Molly Hanmer and Claudia Miles © 2019

Did you wake up today
to another barrage
of news made to ruin your day?

Did you roll on your side,
pull the quilt over your eyes
because it’s just too much to take?

Well I’m with you brother,
some days it’s hard to rise
in these darkest of times

Well tell me truly, dad,
has it ever been this bad,
have you ever seen trouble run this deep?

When the children I might bear
never get a chance that’s fair
on a planet that we couldn’t keep

I’m with you daughter,
some days it’s hard to rise
in these darkest of times

So get up sleepy head
there’s no solace in your bed,
there’s still time and the day is new

Where there’s love there is light
and your willingness to fight,
and it’s the only thing you can do

I’m with you sister,
today we’re gonna rise in
these darkest of times

I’m with you brother,
today we’re gonna rise in
these darkest of times
