"We Rise" lyrics

Sister of my tears
Sister of my cries
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise
We rise, we rise, we rise
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise

Sister of my tears
Sister of my cries
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise
We rise, we rise, we rise
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise

A mother's dream
A daughter's love
A sister's will that will be done
Our voices raised together will
Do the work of a million guns

Sister of my blood
Sister of my heart
Although the miles may separate us
We can't stand apart
Apart, apart, apart
Although the miles may separate us
We can't stand apart

Steel tempered in the fire of fear
Strength tested in the dark of hate
We had it in us all along
It isn't, never, won't be too late

Sister in my joy
Sister in my pain
The woman's burden placed upon us
Time and time again
Again, again, again
The woman's burden placed upon us
Time and time again

Confused, abused, and used
We looked to him for our salvation
Not realising our own hands
Will hold and shape a generation

Sister of my tears
Sister of my cries
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise
We rise, we rise, we rise
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise

Sister of my tears
Sister of my cries
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise
We rise, we rise, we rise
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise

Sister of my tears
Sister of my cries
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise
We rise, we rise, we rise
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push, we reach, we rise
