Rise inside, free your mind Raise your fist to signify We stand in defiance of hatred and deception If I stand alone I'll fight for you The time has come to make a difference Why have we forsaken love The time has come to raise our voices So rise up and fight with me Embrace what we have, it might be the last time In this life we will rise (In this life we will rise) If we find the strength to unify Rise inside, free your mind Raise your fist to signify We stand in defiance of hatred and deception If I stand alone I'll fight for you The time has come to make a difference Why have we forsaken love The time has come to raise our voices So rise up and fight with me Embrace what we have, it might be the last time In this life we will rise (In this life we will rise) If we find the strength to unify Hatred is a weakness, you become the victim I believe love will overcome The time has come to make a difference Why have we forsaken one another The time has come to raise our voices So rise up and fight with me The time has come to raise our voices So rise up and fight with me The time has come (The time has come) The time has come (The time has come) The time has come to rise inside, rise inside
