lyrics

We’re in the middle of a crisis on a climatic scale
The storms are getting stronger, wind, rain and hail
As the politicians lie we’re all set to fail
Unless the people rise up and love prevails

So demand an end to the bombs and invasions
To oil, gas and coal and corporate persuasion
Where the wealthy stay rich cause of tax evasions
Time to open up our eyes complete the equation

Give power to the people, the people fight back
Enough with the division, nobody needs that
Enough with words like White, Asian and Black
We all came from Africa and that’s a fact

Rise up together, united we stand
To overgrow a system that threatens our land
With simple things like community, love and unity
Turn this fight into an opportunity

We’ll stop pipelines with frontlines, fracking with feet
Drills rigs with kayaks, hatred with beats
Save our brothers and sisters from the rising seas
And give shelter and food to all the refugees

Then we’ll starting building a world we’re proud to call home
One that’s full of gardens where no one’s alone
Where the rivers run freely and the grasses grow
And when we walk down the street we actually say hello

Like when somebody needs help we lend a hand
When someone’s different we try to understand
When we’ve got more than others we give what we can
Only take what we need, share what we have

Rise up together, united we stand
To overgrow a system that threatens our land
With simple things like community, love and unity
Turn this fight into an opportunity



At the end of the day it comes right now to you
You gonna sit back, watch and let the lies push through?
Or you gonna stand up, fight back, join the crew
Put the future in our pouch like a kangaroo

See I used to worried that we wouldn’t succeed
That somehow we’d lose to hands of greed
But it’s becoming quite clear that the people are free
Turning I and mine to ours and we

And I’ve met thousands of em’ from all over the planet
They get what I’m saying, see we all understand that
The changes are coming, the movement is here
There’s only one way forward and it’s without fear

Rise up together, united we stand
To overgrow a system that threatens our land
With simple things like community, love and unity
Turn this fight into an opportunity
