Lyrics
Rise Up
By Noreen Inglesi
Verse 1
They say that global warming
Is just a normal trend
They don't believe what science says
They think it's in their heads
Take a look beyond it
Analyze what's there
Our Mother Earth's in trouble
We could wind up dead
Refrain
Rise up, Rise up
Together we are strong
Let us use our voices
Let them feel our storm
Rise up Rise up
People hand in hand
Together we can make a mark
Once we take a stand
Verse 2
The polar caps are melting
Right before our eyes
Polar bears can't stay afloat
Will lead to their demise
Stronger floods and hurricanes
Rising tides and winds
Historic and destructive
What future will we give?
Refrain
Rise up, Rise up
Together we are strong
Let us use our voices
Let them feel our storm
Rise up Rise up
People hand in hand
Together we can make a mark
Once we take a stand
Verse 3
The seas are arising
There's no time to waste
The EPA has taken back
The progress that we made
Energy efficiency
Paris talks all gone
Building endless pipelines
Where they don't belong
Bridge -Instrumental
Refrain
Rise up, Rise up
Together we are strong
Let us use our voices
Let them feel our storm
Rise up Rise up
People hand in hand
Together we can make a mark
Once we take a stand
