When troubled times bring us down
And you feel no help can be found
We need to stand up and be strong, oh-oh
Join together and be as one

Let me show you the way
To find a better place
If we only hope and pray
There will be a brighter day (we can rise)

(We can rise)
(We can rise)
(We can rise)
(We can rise)
(We can rise)
(We can rise)
Yeah (we can rise) rise

Yeah, we can rise

Yeah, we can rise

There's people all around the world
They need a helping hand to hold
Just reach out to your fellow man, yeah
And help them any way you can

Like the river that runs into the sea
(Runs into the sea) come on, children, follow me, hmm
We can rise and be as one
And take our place under the sun

Let me show you the way
To find a better place
If we only hope and pray
There will be a brighter day (we can rise)

(We can rise)

(We can rise) yeah, we can rise (we can rise)

(We can rise) let me show you the way
To find a better place
If we only hope and pray
There will be a brighter day
