lyrics

I can see the women
I can see the men
I can also see the children
Together again
Hand in hand, celebrating again,
Together again.

It's Time
We Rise
Each Time
We Rise

I look deep in the eyes
Of the same ones who wish to divide.
I understand, I feel your pain,
I can't imagine where you've been.
Love, compassion, grace, and patience
Is how I choose to relate to you.
For all relations, all relations too.

It's Time
We Rise
Each Time
We Rise

Through the dark night,
We walked.
And stumbled upon our fears,
In broad daylight.
From our fall,
We chose to stand tall.
Forced separation
Brought unification.

Alchemy led the way
Into this golden age

One by one,
No stone left unturned,
Embracing it all, we learned.
Remembering along the way,
The power we gather when we pray
And the sacred gifts life has given us
To honor each and every day

Together we dive
And as one we rise

It's Time
We Rise
Each Time
We Rise
