[Intro]
Hands up to the dreamer in the mirror, yeah
We rise, we rise
[Verse 1]
Iam that you know me by, Aahenaf Kunasa in the light
Fame on a super dream, handsome heart, gentle might
I walk the road, I work, I live with vision in my eyes
They judge, they doubt, but I stay true to my skies
Friends I love, I forgive the heat they bring my way
Smiles in my pocket, I apologize if I sway
Hope is living, blessing every moment that I share
Coast to coast, we breathe in peace beyond compare
[Chorus]
Peace and love forever, together we stand
Living healthy, living free, hand in hand
If they doubt or ask, we answer with a smile
Unity, equality, we walk the extra mile
[Verse 2]
No negation, no fear, just forward on the street
Working for change, for money, but life is the heartbeat
Earthbound souls, we lift each other to the light
For Ethiopia, Africa, and nations worldwide
Joy in every step, compassion in our tone
A better world is reachable, we build it stone by stone
[Pre-Chorus]
We rise, we choose to heal, we choose the common song
No rooms for hate, we lift each other strong
[Chorus]
Peace and love forever, together we stand
Living healthy, living free, hand in hand
If they doubt or ask, we answer with a smile
Unity, equality, we walk the extra mile
[Bridge]
Let go of fear, embrace the shared tomorrow
We carry hope through joy and sorrow
Different paths, one light that guides our way
Together in peace, we choose a brighter day
[Chorus]
Peace and love forever, together we stand
Living healthy, living free, hand in hand
If they doubt or ask, we answer with a smile
Unity, equality, we walk the extra mile
[Outro]
We walk, we work, we live in harmony
For every girl and boy, for the world to see
peace for Ethiopia, peace for all mankind
A brighter dawn, a kinder world we find
