Text Box: WE RISE

THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure...
 Yet the towers have fallen and yet still doves cry 
We still are victorious, within many eyes 
God shed his grace on this land I love so dear
and because of this I have no fear.
Although we were struck right in our hearts
even through this great loss we won’t be torn apart
Chorus 
We rise, We rise 
above our circumstances, through our trials
through the tears that we shed, know this country is led
through the pain through the years  we wont just survive, we rise
 
You were wrong when you thought that we would not be strong
What you did not understand that God loves this land, and we are in His hand
Chorus
We rise, We rise 
above our circumstances, through our trials
through the tears that we shed, know this country is led
through the pain through the years  we wont just survive, but we rise, rise ,rise
 
(Gettysburg Address Continued)  
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
Chorus
We rise, We rise 
above our circumstances, through our trials
through the tears that we shed, know this country is led
through the pain through the years,  we wont just survive, we rise
 
This nation of the people 
of the people, by the people for the people shall not perish
in God we trust, we are victorious
We are Americans, we don't just survive We Rise!
