Lyrics:
Walk, dance, rise
I can see a world where we all live
Safe and free – all life is respected
Peace is the goal that we seek
Violence and hate are rejected
I own my actions, I own my words
I’ll choose to use them to help our world.
I feel my heart for the first time racing,
I feel alive, I feel so amazing
I dance cause I love. Peace is my dream
Dance cause I’ve had enough. Peace is what we need
Dance to send a sign – That Peace must prevail
Dance to turn it upside down
It’s time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain
Dance, rise Peace, rise
In the middle of this madness we will stand, I know there is a better world. Take your sisters and your brothers by the hand reach out to every boy and girl.
We are sisters, we are brothers
We’ll make peace by respecting one another
We are sisters, we are brothers
Rejecting violence for the sake of each other
I dance cause I love. Peace is my dream
Dance cause I’ve had enough. Peace is what we need
Dance to send a sign – That Peace must prevail
Dance to turn it upside down
It’s time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain, oh yea
Break the Chain
Dance, rise Peace, rise
I own my actions, I own my words
I’ll choose to use them to help our world.
I feel my heart for the first time racing,
I feel alive, I feel so amazing
I dance cause I love. Peace is my dream
Dance cause I’ve had enough. Peace is what we need
Dance to send a sign – That Peace must prevail
Dance to turn it upside down
It’s time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain
