Lyrics

Our People Gonna Rise
© 2020 Pat Humphries/ Sandy Opatow Moving Forward Music/ BMI emmasrevolution.com

Our people gonna rise
Our people gonna rise
Listen to our cries, through the pain and lies
Our people gonna rise

Our people gonna sing
Our people gonna sing
In spite of everything, hear our freedom ring
Our people gonna sing

Our people gonna fight
Our people gonna fight
For what we know is right, we’ll march into the night
Our people gonna fight

Our people gonna grieve
Our people gonna grieve
Whatever you believe, we have the right to breathe
Our people gonna grieve

Our people gonna pray
Our people gonna pray
Try to take our rights away, see you on election day
Our people gonna pray

Our people gonna rise
Our people gonna rise
Listen to our cries, through the pain and lies
Our people gonna rise
