From the recording LP9 BRIEF ENCOUNTER
Many scholars, futurists, and global risk researchers agree that the greatest challenges for humanity in the coming decades will come from three main domains:
1. Environmental limits
2. Technological risks
3. Societal & geopolitical instability
This song is trying to be positive about all of this and that whatever happens we will find a way through.... A stadium-rock anthem for a time of uncertainty.
Lyrics
We Will Rise
[Verse 1]
The seas are climbing, the skies are warm,
The winds are shifting, we face the storm.
But every shadow that blocks the sun
Can’t stop the work that’s just begun.
[Verse 2]
The wires are glowing with thoughts we’ve made,
The tools we’re shaping can heal or fade.
We hold the future in fragile hands,
It’s ours to write, it’s ours to stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every wall can break, every chain can bend,
Every line we cross can find its end.
[Chorus]
We will rise, we will face the fire,
Build the world our children will require.
From the dark, we will lift our eyes,
Through the storm, we will rise.
[Verse 3]
The roads are crowded with those who flee,
But there’s a place for them to be.
If we remember we’re all the same,
We’ll light the earth in a brighter flame.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every voice will join, every hand will lend,
Every road can turn, every wound can mend.
[Chorus]
We will rise, we will face the fire,
Build the world our children will require.
From the dark, we will lift our eyes,
Through the storm, we will rise.
[Bridge]
When the night is long, we’ll be the light,
When the hope feels gone, we’ll hold it tight.
In the hands of all, there’s a spark to keep —
We’re the dreamers who won’t fall asleep.
[Final Chorus]
We will rise, we will face the fire,
Build the world our children will require.
From the dark, we will lift our eyes,
Through the storm…
We will rise.
