A mother's dream, a daughter's love A sister's will that will be done Our voices raised together will Do the work of a million guns Sister of my blood Sister of my heart Although the miles may separate us We can't stand apart Apart, apart, apart Although the miles may separate us We can't stand apart Steel tempered in the fire of fear Strength tested in the dark of hate We had it in us all along It isn't, never, won't be too late Sister in my joy Sister in my pain The woman's burden placed upon us Time and time again Again, again, again The woman's burden placed upon us Time and time again Confused, abused, and used We looked to him for our salvation Not realising our own hands Will hold and shape a generation Sister of my tears Sister of my cries Hand in hand we stand as one We push, we reach, we rise We rise, we rise, we rise Hand in hand we stand as one We push, we reach, we Rise, we rise, we rise
