Rise up.

Verse 1

They sold our future for a dollar and a crown

Told us to stay quiet while the country shut down

We carried their burdens, worked the fields and towns

Now the fire’s rising, and we won’t back down

Pre-Chorus

Every long night, every sacrifice

Built a movement now ready to rise

Chorus (Battle Cry)

Rise up, Rise up — this is our stand

Not left, not right — together we command

Call out the truth, let the old guard fade

We reclaim tomorrow — unafraid

Verse 2

They wrote the rules just to keep us small

But a nation awakens when its people call

From the Northern Lights to the Atlantic waves

We stand united, and we will not be swayed

Pre-Chorus

Every heartbeat, every working hand

Feeds the power of a rising land

Chorus (Battle Cry)

Rise up, Rise up — this is our stand

Not left, not right — together we command

Call out the truth, let the old guard fade

We reclaim tomorrow — unafraid

Bridge (Chant)

Stronger together

Forward forever

Stronger together

Forward forever

(Indigenous drum pulse + stomps)

Final Chorus (Explosive)

Rise up, Canada — this is our stand

Not left, not right — a united land

The future is ours, and the path we pave
