TOGETHER WE RISE is the second single from LION, Chris Assaad's new music medicine collection.
Together We Rise is an anthem that invokes the power of community, soul family, and tribe. Its message is that we are stronger together, and that there is nothing we can’t overcome when we join forces in the spirit of unity, hope and possibility. Its medicine comes in the invitation to gather with intention, to weave our voices, our gifts, and our visions, and to rise to new heights as one.
lyrics
Let us come together
Lift our spirits high
With our hearts sing praises
Together we will rise
We will rise
We will rise
This is what I’m livin’
Livin’ for today
If i’ve got love, I’ll give it
Give it all away
This is what we’re livin’
Livin’ for today
If we’ve got love, let’s give it
Give it all away
Let us come together
Lift our spirits high
With our hearts sing praises
Together we will rise
We will rise
We will rise
Everything I need right now
Is right here within me
There’s nothing we can’t create
As long as we believe
This is what we’re livin’
Livin’ for today
If we’ve got love, let’s give it
Give it all away
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise
Let us come together
Lift our spirits high
With our hearts sing praises
Together we will rise
Together we will rise
We will rise
We will rise
Some days trouble will come
Knockin’ at your door
When it does, we can rise above
That’s what we came here for
This is what we’re livin’
Livin’ for today
If we’ve got love, let’s give it
Give it all away
This is what we’re livin’
If we’ve got love, let’s give it
Gotta give it all away

Chris Assaad has a zest for life and it is this that makes you want to hear more about both the man and the music…” Shayne Locke – Soul Traveller Radio”...more
