We Rise

We Rise

Verse:

Time and time again we felt oppressed
Knowing we were deserving like all of the rest
You challenged us from the start
Hoping that we’d fall apart
We demanded the right to vote
Wouldn’t rest until you took note
We had the right to be heard
We definitely got the final word

Chorus:
We get knocked down
We Rise We Rise we rise
You call us names
We Rise We Rise we rise
We stumble and fall
And yet we stand tall
And like the phoenix we always rise, we rise, we rise, we will always rise
we rise, we rise, we rise, we rise
we rise, we rise, we rise

Verse:

We wanted to fight in the wars
But you’d rather see us in the kitchen doing chores
Again we fought for our rights
Now we stand on the battle ground ready to fight
Tried to tell us what to do with our own bodies
So we fought for the right to choose
In the end you were crying, you were crying the blues

Chorus:
We get knocked down
We Rise We Rise we rise
You call us names
We Rise We Rise we rise
We stumble and fall
And yet we stand tall
And like the phoenix we always rise,
we rise, we rise, we will always rise
we rise, we rise, we rise, we rise, we rise
we rise, we rise, we rise

You’ve tried to stand in our way
But we deserve equal pay
Cause we are awesome, cause we are awesome, cause we are awesome in every way
Sitting in your fancy chairs
Making decisions without a care
We’ve been fighting way too long
To tell us that our fight is wrong
We will continue to march on, to march on, to march on

Chorus:
We get knocked down
We Rise We Rise we rise
You call us names
We Rise We Rise we rise
We stumble and fall
And yet we stand tall
And like the phoenix we always rise,
we rise, we rise, we will always rise
we rise, we rise, we rise, we rise, we rise
we rise, we rise, we rise



Bridge:
There is so many things you say
She’s weak
Brave
That dog
She’s Stoic
Miss Piggy
She’s Strong
Low IQ
Unwavering
She needs Anger management
Powerful
Make up your mind
we are the creators of this nation
And we will always rise, we always rise


Chorus:
We get knocked down
We Rise We Rise we rise
You call us names
We Rise We Rise we rise
We stumble and fall
And yet we stand tall
And like the phoenix we always rise,
we rise, we rise, we will always rise
we rise, we rise, we rise, we rise, we rise
we rise, we rise, we rise
