Inspired by lyrics to “Rise” by Faith Rivera – We rise as one!
I close my eyes, I open my heart. I take a deep breath, let the healing start.
I lift my hands. I plant my feet. I let love in, I feel the beat that’s calling us to rise!
I ready my soul. I clear my mind. I’m here and now in present time.
I feel the power of a thousand suns lighting up the dark.
No turning back, onward to Promised Land!
We feel the power of a thousand suns lighting up the dark.
Love’s calling out my name. Love’s calling – that’s why we came! Rise up!
Reach for the sky! Going up high, Love is alive. We’re bringing the light!
