Stars exploding in the night
Never stop to look up at the sky
See if we’ll grow wings to fly
Many never visualize
Change occurring in their lifetimes
But sons and daughters pay the price
Oh
Rise up now
Oh
Stand up now
Oh
Speak up now
Let’s make them listen
Oh
Sing out now
Oh
Shout out now
Oh
You know how
To change this place up
Take the moon into your hands
Take command and start to change the tides
It will be a sacrifice
They will try to silence you
They will try to take away your rights
Will they win without a fight?
Oh
Rise up now
Oh
Stand up now
Oh
Speak up now
Let’s make them listen
Oh
Sing out now
Oh
Shout out now
Oh
You know how
To change this place up
Society is yours, is yours
Society is yours to defy,
The world, the world, is yours is yours
The world is yours to revolutionize
Yours to revolutionize
Oh
Rise up now
Oh
Stand up now
Oh
Speak up now
Let’s make them listen
Oh
Sing out now
Oh
Shout out now
Oh
You know how
To change this place up
