lyrics
I’ll be my brother’s keeper ‘til the end
I’ll be damned before I turn my back on all my friends.
This has gone on far too long
For what we’ve worked for to be gone
I don’t want your handouts or your loans.
I’d rather earn my keep
Working to the bone
Liberty and freedom rings
With Blue collar stability - I’m done
Can’t hold my tongue
I won’t back down
Let’s rebuild before We drown!
We will rise up, stand up
Love will be our guide
Yeah, gather together
It’s our human right
We will stand strong, ever long
I’ve got your back this time
there won’t be peace without a fight... we will rise!
We can see the truth beyond the lies
Turn the TV off and look inside
We’ve got the power in our hearts
There’s strength in numbers
So we must decide
Won’t believe everything we’re told
We gotta lift each other up this time
We will rise up, stand up
Love will be our guide
Yeah, gather together
It’s our human right
We will stand strong, ever long
I’ve got your back this time
there won’t be peace without a fight... we will rise
(Crowd)
We will rise
Rise
Rise
Rise

Words and Music By: James Vincent Carroll
All guitars, bass and drums by James Vincent Carroll.
I have watched this young man grow into a successful musician over the years. We did some of his early material together and he is still cranking out some amazing songs! James Vincent Carroll
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
Soulful guitar interplay form the heart of this lovely Americana collaboration from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2018
