So poignant, so lovely, so beautifully performed...kudos to all involved in this one. It's fantastic.

In the stillness of the aftermath Some of us were heard to say: “Nothing’s ever gonna change It’s just the way things go” Makes you want to give up trying Makes you shake your head and cry Yeah, we’ve seen it all before And we know what we know But we’re too young to know it can’t be done We can do it now for everyone Rise up, Rise up, Rise up This is the world and this is our time Rise up, Rise up, Rise up Yeah, we’ll be lifting as we climb Rise up, Rise up, Rise up And when again we stand in darkness In the outrage of the hour Wondering why and why and why Looking left, looking right We’ll remember that you raised us And you’ll see our hearts on fire Not giving up, not giving in And you’ll follow our light For us, too young to say impossible We make it possible again and again Rise up, Rise up, Rise up This is the world and this is our time Rise up, Rise up, Rise up Yeah, we’ll be lifting as we climb Rise up, Rise up, Rise up Rise up, Rise up, Rise up This is the world and this is our time Rise up, Rise up, Rise up Yeah, we’ll be lifting as we climb Rise up, Rise up, Rise up THANK YOU ROY AND MELANIE FOR SUCH A GREAT SONG!!!!
