Rise up, rise up
Oh, rise and share your power
Rise up, rise up
We're dancing to the sun
Rise up, rise up
In clear-eyed celebration
Rise up, rise up
The spirit's time has come

We want loving, want laughter again
We want heartbeat, want madness to end
We want dancing, want to run in the streets
We want freedom to live in its peace

We want power, want to make it okay
Want to be singing at the end of the day
Children to breathe a new light
We want freedom to love who we please

Rise up, rise up
Oh, rise and share your power
Rise up, rise up
Everybody's dancing to the sun
Rise up, rise up
It's time for celebration
Rise up, rise up
The spirit's time has come
Talking 'bout the right time to be working for peace
Wanting all the tensions in the world to ease
We want to love, run wild in the streets
We want to be free, we want to be free

Talking about a new way, talking about changing our names
Talking about building a land of our dreams
This tightrope's got to learn how to bend
Makin' new plans, we're gonna start it again

Rise up, rise up
Oh, rise and share your power
Rise up, rise up
Everybody's dancing to the sun
Rise up, rise up
In clear-eyed celebration
Rise up, rise up
The spirit's time has come

Rise up now
It's time, it's time, it's time

Rise up, rise up
Oh, rise and share your power
Rise up, rise up
We're dancing to the sun
Rise up, rise up
It's time for celebration
Rise up, rise up
Everybody's time has come
Spirit's time has come
Spirit's time has come
Rise up, rise up
Oh, rise and share your power
Rise up, rise up
Oh, dancing to the sun
Rise up, rise up
It's time for celebration
Rise up, rise up
The spirit's time has come
Woman's time has come
Spirit's time has come

Rise up
