Lyrics for Alleluia
We’re gonna rise above and break the chains that bound / We’re gonna rise up singing and spread more love around / ‘Cause when we free ourselves freedom can be found / So we’ll raise our voice together and make a joyful sound / And we’ll be singing
Alle Alleluia / We’re gonna rise above / Alle Alleluia / We’re gonna fill the world up with love
We’re gonna rise above and open up our eyes / We’re gonna rise up singing and change each others lives / ‘Cause when we reach out and take another’s hand / We’ll raise our voice together as we walk across this land / And we’ll be singing
Alle Alleluia / We’re gonna rise above / Alle Alleluia / We’re gonna fill the world up with love / Alle Alleluia Come on and take another’s hand / Alle Alleluia We’ll join you in this land / We’ll join you, I said we’ll join you in this land
