You need to sing this in the NC Legislative Building -- to the Senate and to the House!

I love all of this. So human and authentic.

This is amazing. That's all I can say. Wow.

Beautiful and very fitting to the Heart and Soul of millions of Sisters on Earth and in Heaven.

Lullaby

We Rise by Rhiannon Giddens


Sister of my tears
SIster of my cries
Hand in hand we stand as one 
We push we reach we rise
We rise
We rise
We rise
Hand in hand we stand as one
We push we reach we rise

A mother's strength, a daughter's love
A sister's will that will be done
Our voices raised together will
Do the work of a million guns

Sister in my joy 
Sister in my pain
The woman's burden placed upon us
Time and time again

Steel tempered in the fire of fear
Strength tested in the dark of hate
We had it in us all along
It isn't, never, won't be too late

Sister of my blood
Sister of my heart
Although the miles may separate us
We can't stand apart

Confused, abused, and used
We looked to him for our salvation
Not realizing our own hands
will hold and shape a generation

FIrst chorus repeated.

Sung by Rhiannon Giddens, Pura Fe, and Charly Lowry
