[Verse] The sun climbs high on the shoulders of the sky Shadows fall but we won't let them stay Every heart's a candle burning bright Lighting up the way [Chorus] Rise and shine together now Hand in hand we’ll show them how A better world begins today Let love lead Let fear give way [Verse 2] The rivers run and carry every name Mountains echo voices all the same No matter where you’re standing Near or far You’re a vital part of this star [Prechorus] Step by step A rhythm flows Every seed of kindness grows [Chorus] Rise and shine together now Hand in hand we’ll show them how A better world begins today Let love lead Let fear give way [Bridge] We are the spark in the dark The sound in the silence Building bridges Breaking walls Defying defiance No stranger No outcast No one left behind We’re the thread in the tapestry of time
