"Rise up, when you feel you can't go on, rise up, and all of your hope is gone, rise up, when you're weak and you can't be strong." These are the lyrics singer R. Kelly has written about the healing in the aftermath of the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech where a gunman killed 32 people on the University's campus.
The song will be available May 15 with 100% of the proceeds going to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund that provides assistance to victims families and grief counseling. R. Kelly wrote the ballad after watching the events on television while he was on tour.
