Rise Up

(专辑： Double Up - 2007)

"The victims are what mean the most to us and that we cared so much about...."
"I just really feel that we are going to be known as the school that overcame"

This goes out to all of those that were lost in Virginia
Parents, families, friends, we light a candle
And let you know Virginia will rise again

I know you're feeling pain right now
And you don't wanna talk right now
I know you're going through something
And you don't wanna be bothered right now
Not gonna lie and say I understand
I just wanna be here for you if I can
To hold your hand and be by your side
And together we will get through these times

And we will cry together
And we'll fight this together
And we'll be strong together
Stand together, pray together

Rise up, when you feel you can't go on
Rise up, when all of your hope is gone
Rise up, when you're weak and you can't be strong
Rise, rise up
Rise up, and when the tears start to fall
Rise up, and you feel you've given it your all
Rise up, when your back is up against the wall
Rise, rise up

Now I know the burdens that you bear
And you don't think nobody cares
A storm comes out of nowhere
And you're feeling like it just ain't fair
Not here to preach about the brighter side, no
'Cause I understand that now is not the time
See, I just wanna help you make it right
Walk with you, holding up candlelights

And we will cry together
And we'll fight this together (stand up and fight)
And we'll be strong together
Stand together, pray together

Rise up, when you feel you can't go on
Rise up, when all of your hope is gone
Rise up, when you're weak and you can't be strong
Rise, rise up
Rise up, and when the tears start to fall
Rise up, and you feel you've given it your all
Rise up, when your back is up against the wall
Rise, rise up

You see struggle has no color, no color
In the midst of Christ, you are my sister and I'm your brother
And side by side we'll face this thing
Standing tall, you and me

Rise up, rise
Rise up, rise
Rise up, rise
(Hey we gon' rise, rise up to the sky)
Rise up, rise (when all hope is gone)
Rise up, rise (we'll stand tall)
Rise up, rise (and we gotta know tomorrow coming)
Rise up, rise (we will have a victory)
Rise up, rise (hey, rise up)
Rise up, rise (hey hey hey hey hey)
Rise up, rise (in the middle, in the middle of the storm)
Rise up, rise (when you think you cannot make it)
Rise up

God bless you, Virginia
Our hearts go out to you and your families
Peace
