lyrics

Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise
Will you stand up?
Will you give it all away?
Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise
Will you stand up?
Will you give it all away?

Did you see the news today?
All the children are detained
At the border line they crossed
The illusion and the cost
There's a horror happening here
Right at home oh so near
What will we do to help our neighbors
and ourselves
Did you see what's been done?
Everyone has a gun
Protecting all their fears
With rage and deadly steel
How long will we last with such weapons in our grasp?
A trigger happy people with a sorrowful past

Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise
Will you stand up?
Will you give it all away?
Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise
Will you stand up?
Will you give it all away?

But there are teachers teaching
And students are listening
to the call of these times
to take action and to rise
There's a movement among us
The coalition includes us all
Everyone has a part here
Every body and it's soul
Can we imagine a future where we fully embrace
the lightest and the darkest, the entire human race
The opportunity is ours nows and time is running out
All the animals are watching
Will we turn this ship around?

Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise
Will you stand up?
Will you give it all away?
Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise
Will you stand up?
Will you give it all away?
