[Intro]

Verse 1
0:13
Frederick said, ā€œNo struggle, no progress,ā€
0:13
Truth donā€™t bloom where fearā€™s the process.
0:16
Rosa took her stand by sittinā€™ down,
0:19
Her quiet shook the whole damn town.
0:22
Susan marched where no one cheered,
0:24
Her voice was clear, her path was seared.
0:27
And Jefferson warned through time and flame,
0:30
ā€œFreedomā€™s price has got no name.ā€
0:34
Pre-Chorus
0:37
Every chain, every scar,
0:37
Lit the way to where we are.
0:43
Chorus
0:48
Rise for freedom, stand for right,
0:48
Hold the line, donā€™t lose the fight.
0:51
Justice burns like morning light,
0:54
Through the darkness of the night.
0:57
Raise your hand, raise your voice,
1:00
History gave us one true choice ā€”
1:03
To rise for freedomā€¦
1:06
To rise for freedom.
1:08
Verse 2
1:25
Malcolm said, ā€œYou fall for nothinā€™
1:25
If you donā€™t stand for somethinā€™.ā€
1:27
And every soul who spoke in pain
1:30
Carved the truth in blood and rain.
1:33
The march was long, the cost was deep,
1:35
But freedomā€™s dream is ours to keep.
1:38
And still today, the echoes say ā€”
1:41
Donā€™t turn your face away.
1:44
Pre-Chorus
1:48
From the fields to the city square,
1:48
The sound of justice fills the air.
1:52
Chorus
2:00
Rise for freedom, stand for right,
2:00
Hold the line, donā€™t lose the fight.
2:02
Justice burns like morning light,
2:06
Through the darkness of the night.
2:09
Raise your hand, raise your voice,
2:11
History gave us one true choice ā€”
2:15
To rise for freedomā€¦
2:17
To rise for freedom.
2:20
Bridge
2:31
Oh, Douglass spoke of pain and fire,
2:31
But lit the world with fierce desire.
2:36
Rosaā€™s seat became a crown,
2:39
Malcolmā€™s words still thunder down.
2:47
Susanā€™s courage, Jeffersonā€™s flame,
2:54
The dreamā€™s alive ā€” it bears their names.
2:56
Breakdown (spoken / half-sung)

Justice donā€™t sleep till the work is done.
3:05
The brave donā€™t rest, they stand, they run ā€”
3:08
And they rise again with the morning sun.
3:11
Final Chorus
3:17
Rise for freedom, stand for right,
3:17
Let your heart be the guiding light.
3:20
Lift the broken, guard the weak,
3:22
Give your soul the strength to speak.
3:26
Raise your hand, raise your voice,
3:28
The world still waits for us to rejoice ā€”
3:31
We rise for freedomā€¦
3:35
We rise for freedom.(Softly)
3:41
From the fields to the city square,
3:47
Freedomā€™s voice is still out there.
3:50
And it callsā€¦
3:52
To rise for freedom.
