Together We Shall Rise

So many families torn apart, by a monster they can't see Fentanyl takes hold and it won't let go, it's like a disease Leaving loved ones feeling helpless and alone, wondering what to do They turn their backs in fear and pain, not knowing how to get through All the raindrops fall from heaven skies For all the victims lost in fentanyl's lies Family members push them away But they need love to make it through the day The addict feels so alone, like no one understands The high is all that matters now, just need it in their hands They don't care if they live or die, it's hard to see the light When those they love have turned away, it's like an endless night All the raindrops fall from heaven skies For all the victims lost in fentanyl's lies Family members push them away But they need love to make it through the day We must come together strong and true And help every single one of them through Accept their illness with open hearts Help them get back up and start All the raindrops fall from heaven skies For all the victims lost in fentanyl's lies Family members push them away But with love we can help them find a new way We can't give up on those who are lost Hold them close no matter what the cost Together we can make a stand  To end this monster called fentanyl. We need to break the stigma and the shame And give them hope for a better day No more looking away, no more turning our backs Let's offer support and help them get back on track All the raindrops fall from heaven skies For all the victims lost in fentanyl's lies Family members push them away But with love we can help them find a new way It's time to break down the walls of fear And show them we are always here We can't let another family fall apart Let's start a movement, let's make a start All the raindrops fall from heaven skies For all the victims lost in fentanyl's lies Family members push them away But with love we can help them find a new way All the raindrops fall from heaven skies For every precious life that we have lost in fentanyl's lies Let's come together, let's stand strong For those who need us, let's belong Let us all hold hands, and form a chain Together we can heal the pain For every soul that has lost their way Let's remember them and honor them each day We'll keep their memories alive and bright  And make sure that they didn't die for no reason or fight We'll continue to spread love and kindness Until fentanyl addiction is one less thing to worry less. Let's raise our voices, let our message be heard Together we can make a difference, spread love and not hurt For every tear that falls from heaven sky  There will be hope and healing for those who still struggle to survive.
