Somebody's hurting my brother & it’s gone on far too long
Gone on far too long, gone on far too long
Somebody's hurting my brother & it’s gone on far too long
And we won’t be silent anymore
Songleader calls:
Somebody’s hurting my sisters & it’s…
Somebody's hurting my neighbors...
Somebody's hurting our children...
Somebody’s poisoning our waters…
Somebody’s ignoring the homeless…
Somebody's building a wall...
Somebody's hurting my people...
each line echos
We have been burned
Burned by the fire
And we are ashes
Ashes and smoke
But we will rise
Higher and higher
On the wings of compassion
Justice and hope
This is for our neighbors who are locked inside
Together, we will, abolish I.C.E
We have come too far we can't turn around
We'll flood the streets with justice
We are freedom bound
Forget your perfect offering (Forget your perfect offering)
Just ring the bells that still can ring (Just ring the bells that still can ring)
There is a crack in everything (There is a crack in everything)
That’s how (That’s how) The light (The light)
Gets in (That’s how the light gets in)
That’s how (That’s how) The light (The light)
Gets in (That’s how the light gets in)
Count me in, I’m here to lend a hand, whoa-o-o
Count me in, I’m here to protect this land
Count me in, I’m here to help make it right, whoa-o-o
Count me in, I’m here to shine a light
The rain don't negotiate
The wind don't negotiate
The fire don't negotiate
Oh no the climate don't negotiate
Hurricanes don't negotiate
Tornados don't negotiate
Smoke don't negotiate
Oh no the climate don't negotiate
No pueden encarcelarnos a todas // They cannot imprison us all
Call & Response:
No person is illegal // Nadie es ilegal
On this stolen land // En la tierra robada
They try and separate us // Intentan separarnos
But we will fight as one // Lucharemos juntos
They want to take the dreamers // Quieren romper los sueños
Suffocate imagination // Ahogar inspiración
You’re welcome as you are // Te queremos como sos
Fly high and paint the sky // Vuela alto y pinta el cielo
Migration is not a crime // Migrar no es un crimen
Trans rights are human rights // Los derechos trans son derechos humanos
Let Gaza live
We will not be silenced in the face of government violence
Ni una mas
We rise, humbly hearted
Rise, won’t be divided
Rise, with spirit to guide us
Rise
[Chorus]
In hope, in prayer, we find ourselves here
In hope, in prayer, we’re right here
In hope, in prayer, we find ourselves here
In hope, in prayer, we’re right here
We rise, all of the children
Rise, elders with wisdom
Rise, ancestors surround us
Rise
[Chorus]
We rise, up from the wreckage
Rise, with tears and with courage
Rise, fighting for life
Rise
[Chorus]
All lines are Call and Response -
Mama, mama, can’t you see
This is an emergency
Mama, mama, tell me why
Why our people gotta die
Mama, mama, can’t you see
What the state has done to me
Took away my clean air
Now I can’t live anywhere
Mama, mama, can’t you see
What the state has done to me
Took away my clean water
And the planet’s getting hotter
Mama, mama, can’t you see
What the state has done to me
Putting profit over health
While billionaires double their wealth
