Rise Up R. Kelly

[Intro]
"The victims are what mean the most to us and that we cared so much about...."
"I just really feel that we are going to be known as the school that overcame"

[Interlude: R. Kelly]
This goes out to all of those that were lost in Virginia
Parents, families, friends, we light a candle
And let you know Virginia will rise again

[Verse 1: R. Kelly]
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

[Pre-Chorus: R. Kelly]
And we will cry together
And we'll fight this together
And we'll be strong together
Stand together, pray together

[Chorus: R. Kelly]
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, 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
