Lyrics

The world has turned to silence

Retreating to our homes

But somewhere in the quiet

We know the danger grows

What will be tomorrow?

What does the new day bring?

Another case of sorrow?

Another tragic end?


A quiet prayer inside the chaos

We shield our faces to the squall

While the world looks on it’s up to us

To answer to the call


And We. We rise. We fight. We hold.

And We. We rise. In faith, we know

We are strong enough

And brave enough

To love in place of fear

Cause we are called to service. We stand together here. We rise.


Our brothers and our sisters

Our family and our friends

We hold them in our thoughts

As we start leaning in


Hand in hand across the distance

Weary bones and wounded hearts

Through the tears and trials and tragedies

We push on through it all


And We. We rise. We fight. We hold.

And We. We rise. In faith, we know

We are strong enough

And brave enough

To love in place of fear

Cause we are called to service. We stand together here.


And We. We rise. We fight. We hold.

And We. We rise. In faith, we know

We are strong enough

And brave enough

To love in place of fear

Cause we are called to service. We stand together here. We rise.
