People Gonna Rise

People gonna rise, rise up in freedom
Rise like the phoenix from the ashes of fear
People gonna rise, rise up in justice
Speak truth to power til all nations shall hear

That we share one world, one sky, one sun that shines
We know one thirst for freedom,
Rising up together we’ll stand side by side

People gonna rise, rise up in mercy
Share the world’s riches, break prisons’ chains
People gonna rise, sisters and brothers
Bring forth their wisdom, their courage again

People gonna rise, shine like the morning
Break through the darkness and reach for the sun
People gonna rise, rise up in freedom
Lay down the weapons, the bombs and the guns

People gonna rise
