{This goes out to all of those that were lost in Virginia
Parents, families, friends, we light a candle
And let you know that Virginia will rise again}
I know you're feeling pain right now
And you don't wanna talk right now
I know you're going through something
And you don't wanna be bothered right now
Not gonna lie and say I understand
I just wanna be here for you if I can
To hold your hand and be by your side
And together we will get through these times
And we will cry together
And we'll fight this together
And we'll be strong together
Stand together, pray together
Rise up, when you feel you can't go on
Rise up, when all of your hope is gone
Rise up, when you're weak and you can't be strong
Rise up
Rise up, and when the tears start to fall
Rise up, and you feel you've given it your all
Rise up, when your back is up against the wall
Rise, rise up
Now I know the burdens that you've had
And you don't think nobody cares
A storm comes out of nowhere
And you're feeling like it just ain't fair
Not here to preach about the private side, no
'Cause I understand and now is not the time
See I just wanna help you make it right
Walk with you, holding the candle light
And we will cry together
And we'll fight this together
And we'll be strong together
Stand together, pray together
Rise up, when you feel you can't go on
Rise up, when all of your hope is gone
Rise up, when you're weak and you can't be strong
Rise up
Rise up, and when the tears start to fall
Rise up, and you feel you've given it your all
Rise up, when your back is up against the wall
Rise
You see struggle, struggle has
No color, no color
In the midst of crisis
You are my sister and I'm your brother
And side by side we'll face this thing
Standing tall, you and me
Rise up, rise
Rise up, rise
Rise up, rise
(Hey we gon' rise)
Rise up
(Heads up to to the sky)
Rise up, rise
(When all hope is gone)
Rise up, rise
(We'll stand tall and believe)
Rise up, rise
(And we gotta know tomorrow will come)
Rise
(And we will have a victory)
Rise up, rise
(Hey, rise up)
Rise up, rise
(Hey)
Rise up, rise
(In the middle, in the middle of your storm when you)
Rise
(When you think you, when you think you cannot make it, rise up)
Rise up, rise
(God bless you Virginia)
Rise up, rise
(Our hearts go out to you and your families)
