Read Poem: Rise Up Young Mind, by Michael D. Rourke

Verse One
Polluted skies, the future is unclear
Vote for clean air, changing hearts are so near
The planet cries, see and listen for pain
Everyone care, a great change will remain

Chorus
Love human kind, open the door
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind
Leave hates behind, make room for more
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind

Verse Two
New ro-ta-tion, the power of gen Z
Watch and wonder, how we can all agree
Best in- ten-tion, not ignoring the truth
Rolling thunder, the new voices of youth

Bridge
Black brown yellow red white, set in motion
Ring of hands holding growing devotion
Keeping land green and blue seas and oceans
Together we curl all around the world

Chorus
Love human kind, open the door
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind
Leave hates behind, make room for more
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind

Verse Three
Learn from the past, we’re saving tomorrow
Plant hope and trees, and let the rivers flow
Change comes at last, keep reaching everyday
More people please, there’s no time to delay

Bridge
Black brown yellow red white, set in motion
Ring of hands holding the growing devotion
Keeping land green and blue seas and oceans
Together we curl all around the world

Chorus
Love human kind, open the door
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind
Leave hates behind, make room for more
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind
