Ascending Hope
It only takes one voice
To rise up and speak of choice
Solitary strength can be surprising
Can you feel the people rising?
An unfortunate fact: history will repeat
Build the self up to knock down defeat
The numbers, the strength, the beauty comprising
Can you feel the people rising?
Lifting our heads away from the past
Knowing that changing the world doesn’t happen fast
Sick and tired of all of the compromising
Can you feel the people rising?
No longer analyzing how we act
That’s right. We’re different. It’s a fact.
Unable to continue the relentless disguising
Can you feel the people rising?
The time is now; there can be no looking back
Lifting our people onto the common track
Life is being wasted if you aren’t realizing
Can you feel the people rising?
