Lyrics
Began with mindset, belief out of fear,
World runnin’ out, doom drawing near.
Masses starving, resources bleed,
Population exploding, desperate need.
Borlog thundered, said “We’ll change the game,”
Science, innovation, fears we’ll tame.
Genetics in the seeds, yields soaring high,
Green Revolution, watch the hunger die.
Together we rise, breakin’ the seals,
All we have can grow, just like the fields.
Together we rise, a true deep core.
Not stealing away, we’re creating more.
Together we rise, breakin’ chains again,
All we have can grow, that trend won’t bend.
Together we rise, ain’t takin’ away,
Now billions fed, got more every day.
Collaboration, innovation, sweat and grime,
Dirt to diamonds, old and new intertwine.
From farms to cities, food flowin’ free,
A dazzling future we couldn’t foresee.
Kennedy said, Dream beyond the seen,
Ignite a raging fire, chase that gleam.
Innovation in our hands, stoke flames sky-high,
Turn scarcity to plenty, watch that spark fly.
Together we rise, breakin’ the seals,
All we have can grow, just like the fields.
Together we rise, a true deep core.
Not stealing away, we’re creating more.
Together we rise, breakin’ chains again,
All we have can grow, that trend won’t bend.
Together we rise, ain’t takin’ away,
Now billions fed, got more every day.
The world caught fire, now it’s burnin’ bright,
Turnin’ fear of famine into fields of light.
From nothin’ to abundance, defy the doubt,
Can’t give into weakness, find a better route.
Each terror’s a challenge, hasn’t been met.
Now the earth gives more than we thought we’d get.
New problems arise, they always will,
We’ll crush ’em with power, we won’t kneel.
Together we rise, breakin’ the seals,
All we have can grow, just like the fields.
Together we rise, a true deep core.
Not stealing away, we’re creating more.
Together we rise, breakin’ chains again,
All we have can grow, that trend won’t bend.
Together we rise, ain’t takin’ away,
Now billions fed, got more every day.
Always seems impossible until it’s done,
Mandela’s reminder, we’ll rise like the sun.
Kennedy’s vision, dreamin’ don’t stop,
Planting the future, each and every crop.
Innovation in the soil, ideas flow,
There’s more to share, more room to grow.
From scarcity to plenty, that’s how we roll,
Future’s ripe with harvest, every seed a goal.
Abundance embraced, a skill we hone
Just gotta grow it in our own zone.
Spark to a blaze, it turned into gold,
Future’s brighter, let the story be told.
Minds unlimited, a match and a pyre,
Find a solution, set the world on fire.
