Rise Up


The streets flooded With the cries of the oppressed The energy flowing of humanity regressed Eyes open tears run down each face of the cruelty and ignorance of our own human race It is black and white And not just human beings They march on the street And they don't know what they are seeing Blinded by the ignorance They were raised with from the start The fear of differences which drives us all apart Rise up to ignorant Rise up for civil peace Rise up for the acceptance for all humanity Rise up and be the change you want to see
