This song has gone through several changes over the years. This is the latest version:
WE WILL RISE TOGETHER (Hali Hammer)
We will rise together, we’ll be wise together
We will watch the winter turn into the spring together
We’ll hold hands together, we will band together
We’ll breathe in and out as one and we will rise, rise, rise
Our hearts will pound as one and we will rise, rise, rise
Millions rose upon their feet as they marched into the street
For the Women’s March of 2017
In our cities large and small, young and old answer the call
To show the world the best side of America.
(CHORUS)
We must not yield to fear, we must defend what we hold dear
We must rise above the darkness and hold fast to the light
We have to heed the call to protect the rights of all
To preserve progressive values, keeping hope within our sight
(CHORUS)
Now all across the country, people mobilize together
To work for peace and justice so that we can carry on
We never will give in, so collectively we’ll win
For the darkest night becomes the new light of a breaking dawn
We will rise together, we’ll be wise together
We will watch the winter turn into the spring together
We’ll hold hands together, we will band together
We’ll breathe in and out as one and we will rise, rise, rise
Our hearts will pound as one and we will rise, rise, rise
