Southern tears, southern pain,
People crying in the rain.
It’s so hard to remember when
But the South will rise again.

Broken lives, shattered dreams
Washed away in the streams.
Mothers’ fears, children’s cries
But we know the South will rise

Join hands,
Let’s rise above the flowing waters.
Join hands,
With all our southern sons and daughters.
Help them know the power of “Amen”.
With our love, yes, with our love
The South will rise again.

Southern trees bow their heads.
Southern winds blow with dread.
Dark clouds over southern skies.
But soon we’ll see the South begin to rise.

Southern hearts, southern ways,
Soon to come, better days.
Rebuild the towns with our love,
Then the South can rise above.

Join hands,
The things that we can do together!
Join hands,
There’s nothing that we cannot weather.
We all know the power of “Amen”.
With our love, yes, with our love
The South will rise again.

Join hands,
Let’s rise above the flowing waters.
Join hands,
With all our southern sons and daughters.
Help them know the power of “Amen”.
With our love, yes, with our love
The South will rise again.
The South will rise again.
Rise again!
