Lyrics
Intro Ad Lib]
oh lord lord lord
[Verse 1]
babylon walls try to hold i down
concrete jungle, no love around
from the ashes we rise again
stronger than we've ever been
[Chorus]
rise up, stand firm, don't you fall
truth is the weapon, love conquers all
rise up, stand firm, hear the call
one heart, one voice, justice for all
rise up, stand firm, don't you fall
truth is the weapon, love conquers all
rise up, stand firm, hear the call
one heart, one voice, justice for all
[Verse 2]
no chain can bind what the Father set free
no lies can blind what the eyes can see
through oppression and poverty
still we rise in dignity
[Chorus]
rise up, stand firm, don't you fall
truth is the weapon, love conquers all
rise up, stand firm, hear the call
one heart, one voice, justice for all
rise up, stand firm, don't you fall
truth is the weapon, love conquers all
rise up, stand firm, hear the call
one heart, one voice, justice for all
[Verse 3]
children crying for a brighter day
mothers praying night and day
but hope still burns like a candle flame
and righteousness we proclaim
[Chorus]
rise up, stand firm, don't you fall
truth is the weapon, love conquers all
rise up, stand firm, hear the call
one heart, one voice, justice for all
rise up, stand firm, don't you fall
truth is the weapon, love conquers all
rise up, stand firm, hear the call
one heart, one voice, justice for all
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Father guide i through the storm
keep i heart and spirit warm
every tear that hit the ground
turns to blessings all around
[Chorus]
rise up, stand firm, don't you fall
truth is the weapon, love conquers all
rise up, stand firm, hear the call
one heart, one voice, justice for all
rise up, stand firm, don't you fall
truth is the weapon, love conquers all
rise up, stand firm, hear the call
one heart, one voice, justice for all
