Where were you when the mountains quaked
When the waters rose
Were you awake?

And where were you when the mother cried
Giving up her child
To the Holy State?

And where were you
When we marched in the streets?
Where were you
Were you keeping the peace?

Where were you
When we took the waters back?
Where were you
Did you have your mother’s back?

Rise up
Now is the hour
Rise up
Take back your power
Rise up
We will not wait
We rise up today

Where were you
When the soldiers died
Fighting for the truth
Were you alive?

Where were you
When the towers blew
When the temples burned
Were you inside?

And where are you
When we march in the streets?
Where are you
Will you be the peace?

Where are you
When we take the borders back
Where are you
Will you have your brother’s back?

Now we must rise up
Now is the hour
Rise up
Take back your power
Rise up
We will not wait
We rise up today

Rise up
Now is the hour
Rise up
Take back our Power
Rise up
We will not wait
We rise up today
We Rise Up Today
