"We'll Rise" Lyrics

Dark was the night
Tears on my face
We gathered in the candlelight
As the whole world stood still

How can I forget that prayer for the dead
Underneath that blackened sky
As close as we could get

It's the age we're livin' in
A dark sign of the times
Can't let the madness
Kick us down to the ground

We'll rise, we'll rise
We'll shine in the night
We'll rise, we'll shine
From the ashes of eternity

We'll rise, we'll rise
We'll shine in the night
We'll rise, we'll shine to eternity

Another starry sky
Another silver moon
And soon the sun will shine
Warming our roofs

Gather your children
We must move with the wind
To make a fire bright
From the flames within

We'll rise, we'll rise
Like an eagle flies in the sky
'Cos together we're strong
And we'll rise, we'll rise
