When troubled times bring us down
And you feel no help can be found
We need to stand up and be strong, oh
Join together and be as one

Let me show you the way
To find a better place
If we only hope and pray
There will be a brighter day

We can rise, we can rise
We can rise, we can rise
We can rise, we can rise
We can rise, we can rise (yeah, we can rise)

Rise
Rise
Rise (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Rise (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, we can rise (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Rise (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, we can rise (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Rise (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, we can rise (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Rise (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) yes, I know, we can rise

There's people all around the world
Who need a helping hand to hold
Just reach out to your fellow man, yeah
And help them any way you can
Like the river runs into the sea (runs into the sea)
Come on, children, follow me, mm
We can rise and be as one
And take our place under the sun

Let me show you the way
To find a better place
If we only hope and pray
There will be a brighter day

We can rise, we can rise
We can rise, we can rise
We can rise, we can rise
We can rise, we can rise (I know, we can rise)

Yeah, we can rise (rise)
(Rise)
Yeah, we can rise (rise)
(Rise)
Oh, we can rise (rise)
(Rise)
Yes, I know, we can rise (rise)
