Title: "Rise Up, Unite, and Shine"
Verse 1:
In a world where love should reign
We're faced with hate, pain, and shame
Women and children, targeted and worn
Their lives stolen, their futures torn
Chorus:
Rise up, unite, and shine
Let love and justice be our guide
We'll stand together, hand in hand
And create a world where all can thrive and stand
Verse 2:
Systemic failures, biases, and fears
Can't hold us back through all our tears
We'll rise above, we'll make a change
And create a world where love will range
Chorus:
Rise up, unite, and shine
Let love and justice be our guide
We'll stand together, hand in hand
And create a world where all can thrive and stand
Bridge:
We'll break the chains of oppression and pain
And shine a light on the love that remains
We'll stand with the survivors, and hold their hands
And create a world where everyone can thrive and stand
From the highways to the streets, we'll make a change
We'll stand together, and rearrange
The systems and structures, that perpetuate the pain
And create a world where love and justice reign
Final Chorus:
Rise up, unite, and shine
Let love and justice be our guide
We'll stand together, hand in hand
And create a world where all can thrive and stand
Outro:
We'll rise up, we'll unite, we'll shine
Together, our love will be the light
That guides us forward, out of the night
Into a world where love and justice ignite.
