Oh yeah, rise up now.
This is for the families. Jah bless.
Papa lost his job, the factory closed its door.
Mama in the hospital, fighting on the ward.
Landlord at the gate, knocking for the rent.
Kwame and Abena in school, wondering where the money's spent.
But we keep the faith, we don't look back in sorrow.
We pray for strength to face tomorrow.
But we will rise up, yes we will stand tall.
Jah bless the family, we won't let them fall.
Through the storm and the rain, we find a way.
Brighter days are coming, we will see a better day.
One love, we will survive.
Kwame and Abena, studying through the night.
Holding on to hope, keeping future bright.
Though the bills are piling high and the road is steep,
These are the promises that we have to keep.
Mama will heal, Papa will stand strong.
Even in the struggle, we sing a hopeful song.
But we will rise up, yes we will stand tall.
Jah bless the family, we won't let them fall.
Through the storm and the rain, we find a way.
Brighter days are coming, we will see a better day.
One love, we will survive.
Easy now, keep the faith.
Brighter days are coming.
One love.
