Rise Up


Now is the time

the time to rise up

and take a stand

Rise up

and grab each other's hand

we are the same man.

Today's population is literally a frustration

we stand so far apart 

and excuse me for the faint of heart

but the guns killing innocents

trucks running over millions

combined.

What has the world come to?

Now I'm thinking how can I bring children into this world?

Wait, what if I'm killed before that precious date.

We are not invincible

on the outside.

But on the inside, we are so much more,

we are exactly what the world is looking for.

That's why this is the time to rise up 

and take a stand

Rise up

we are the same man

This is our country

let's do all we can.
