I wrote this song a few years ago but it never found its way out until now. I wanted to express that we all, as a collective, have the power to direct our course. The forces that would have us believe otherwise benefit when we dim our Light.
Lyrics
They want us scared
of all the wrong things
Blind, unaware
Unable to sing
They want us small
Safe and compliant
And They want it all
Especially our silence
Everybody gotta rise up
Rise up and shine
Rise up
Rise up and shine
Shine your Light on
They feed us disease
All wrapped up and shiny
As seen on TV
Deception is blinding
And They want our time
And all our attention
The best of our minds
Well, our souls if we let them
Everybody gotta rise up
Rise up and shine
Rise up
Rise up and shine
Shine your Light on
They’d take it all
While we lay sleeping
But empires they fall
History repeating
And we’ve got free will
And we’ve got each other
And we’re fighting still
The truth we’ll uncover
Everybody gotta rise up
Rise up and shine
Rise up
Rise up and shine
Shine your Light on
Rise up Rise up
Rise up and shine
Shine your Light on
