Lyrics
LET IT RISE - PEOPLE POWER
We're dancing to the beat of freedoms drum
We're dancing to the beat of freedoms drum
We're gonna beat upon that drum until everybody gets some
We'll unite and let our people power rise.
Let's unite and let our people power rise.
Let it rise
Let it rise
And those who would enslave us will be surprised. (Let's organize)
Just hear our joyful cries as we open up our eyes
We'll unite and let our people power rise.
Let's unite and let our people power rise.
We're answering the call of nature wild.
We're answering the call of nature wild.
We shall defend the wild the birthright of every child
We'll unite and let our people power rise.
Let's unite and let our people power rise.
Let it rise
Let it rise
And those who would enslave us will be surprised. (Let's organize)
Just hear our joyful cries as we open up our eyes
We'll unite and let our people power rise.
Let's unite and let our people power rise.
We'll spread the word of truth throughout the land.
We'll spread the word of truth throughout the land.
We're gonna pass it hand to hand so when it's time to make a stand
We'll unite and let our people power rise.
Let's unite and let our people power rise.
Let it rise
Let it rise
And those who would enslave us will be surprised. (Let's organize)
Just hear our joyful cries as we open up our eyes
We'll unite and let our people power rise.
Let's unite and let our people power rise.
QUIET PART
(Let's unite and let our people power rise.)
(Let's unite and let our people power rise.)
(Let's unite and let our people power rise.)
(Let's unite and let our people power rise.)
Let's unite and let our people power rise.
Let's unite and let our people power rise. (Let it rise)
Let's unite and let our people power rise. (Let it rise right now)
Let's unite and let our people power rise. (All around the world we gotta be free)
Let's unite and let our people power rise. (Only we can do it you and me)
Let's unite and let our people power rise.
