From the recording Songs for Animals, People & the Earth
This inspiring song embodies the spirit of the animal rights movement. It asks us to “rise up to the love in our hearts” and dedicate ourselves to ending the pain and suffering we inflict on animals.

Lyrics
From the land to the sea, from the mountain to the shore
We hear your voice
In your pain, in your need, in defense we are here
To lead you forth
For the moments we love are the moments we share forevermore
And the freedom we give is our spirit relived, ever yours
Rise up and heal them
Rise up and care for them
Rise up to the love in our hearts
Rise up for the animals
Make this moment last
In this life we are one
Paws, hands, and hearts
Hooves, feathers, wings
Nothing is lost if only we unite
Our song begins
For the reasons are pure if our kindness is sown
In the wind
This moment shall grow and onward we go
And we begin
Rise up and heal them
Rise up and care for them
Rise up to the love in our hearts
Rise up for the animals
Rise up and heal them
Rise up and care for them
Rise up to the love in our hearts
Rise up for the animals
Make this moment last
Make this moment last
