"We Rise" was inspired by the powerful, prayerful resistance Batya Levine witnessed and experienced at Standing Rock. This song is an attempt to remember and to hold that model of resistance in our hearts and in our minds.

We Rise… humbly hearted
Rise... won’t be divided
Rise... with spirit to guide us
Rise!
(Chorus) (x2)
In hope, in prayer, we find ourselves here
In hope, in prayer, we’re right here!
We Rise… all of the children
Rise... elders with wisdom
Rise... ancestors surround us
Rise!
(Chorus)
We Rise… up from the wreckage
Rise... with tears and with courage
Rise… fighting for life
Rise!
(Chorus & Repeat verse 1)
