- “I Want to Rise” was created to help bring awareness to the more than 4000 missing and murdered First Nations women and girls from across Canada and the many thousands more #MMIW in the United States of America, and, as well, to help empower First Nations youth to rise above the many challenges they face being indigenous youth in Canada today.
“I Want to Rise” was created in memory of Cassidy Bernard of We’koqma’q First Nation (Nova Scotia, Canada) who was murdered at the age of 22 in 2018. #justiceforcassidy
“I Want to Rise” features lead vocals by grade 12 graduating student, Emma Stevens, and acting performances by grade 9 teacher, Carol Anne Jeddore, and grade 10 student, Mary Katherine Joe. More than 100 staff, students and community members contributed to the project.
“I Want to Rise” was written and produced by Allison Bernard Memorial High School music teacher, Carter Chiasson.

I WANT TO RISE // LYRICS
I dream at night of the city lights, of the sights and the sounds and the feel
Of the wind in my hair, the open road, and the stars in the sky as my wheel
From the hills to the shore of this little town, my heart aches for what could be
So close, yet so far away.. to me
And I can’t wait for all the world to see
I wanna rise, I wanna fly
Spread my wings, leave the ground and touch the sky
I wanna walk this path, this winding road with you
I wanna rise, like an eagle in flight
Out of the dark, take back the night
Bring your voice into the light
I wanna rise
These are the days that hearts can break, this is the time and the place
I don't know what to think, what to say, how to feel. What is real and what is fake?
Can you hear me scream, can you hear me roar, can you see me I'm right here
With my heart on my sleeve and my hands in the air
And I can’t wait to meet you when I’m there
I wanna rise, I wanna fly
Spread my wings, leave the ground and touch the sky
I wanna walk this path, this winding road with you
I wanna rise, like an eagle in flight
Out of the dark, take back the night
Bring your voice into the light
I wanna rise
Two rays of light shine bright in the night, for all the world to see
From the stars in the sky, to the clouds above to the depths of the deep blue sea
Can you feel my breath on the wind tonight, can you hear my voice in the air
Wherever you go, I’ll be there
Chorus x2
Spread my wings and take flight
I wanna rise

Incredible video. A real punch to the heart, as it should be. Emma, you are amazing. The strong indigenous women and children speaking for the disappeared here,are everything the rest of us should be. I will work harder to do more. 🌿
I am beyond proud of my baby sister and how far she’s come. I love you Emma❤️❤️
If you were the girls standing in a video that I saw and you look a lot like her and you were standing behind her when she was sitting and singing blackbird and you guys looked like you might have even chatted here or two you just looked like your heart was bursting with emotion the smiles on your face set it ALL🌍✌️🦋🌱🌿🍃
What a voice and what a message every one of her songs touches my heart and soul ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful 🥰❤️ my grandma is from Canada mik'mah love this !!!
Can you link to HER channel???
I’m the teenager acting in this 😄✌🏻
I love you tu's .. the video and song made me cry .. I know it's just acting but so many of our Sisters gone this way 😢 I love you and I'm proud of You, Emma and your school, bringing awareness ❤️
Good job, Mary Joe! You definitely conveyed the pain Cassidy was feeling during & after the interaction with her mother. I felt your/her pain as you desperately sought a safe way out.
Blessings to you & Emma & all the others in your school who collaborated to make this powerful tribute to Cassidy & to the plight of the thousands of other MMIW's across Turtle Island.
Chi Miigwetch!
🔥🔥🔥
My husband and I had the great honour of getting to know Emma in Kaslo BC. Amazing and resilient young woman. Can’t wait to hear the next song. Thank you for hanging on our patio.
❤️Diane and Mark.
hi diane, hope y'all are doing well - Emma
What a beautiful voice she has. We all need to keep these missing women in our hearts and our minds and share the load of keeping everyone safe. 💓
Emma, you have been given a gift. Your choice to use this gift to spread hope to "your people", and shame to "mine", is worthy of praise. You have power in your voice, but your message is so much greater. You have just brought tears to the eye of a 48yr old white guy... and I wish to thank you.Take flight little one, spread your wings. I am looking forward to the day when we are all "one people". Wantaqo'ti!!
It's so good to see Emma Stevens do another video and song! She is a fantastic singer and a great voice for her people and all First Nations across this country!
You've done a beautiful job with this wonderful song, Miss Emma. A salute, from Florida.
Great song and important message. Keep going, keep going, keep going. Thanks
Brilliant and powerful. Chi Miigwech to Emma and team for sharing your healing gifts with us all.
Amazing talent and powerful message! Thank you for sharing and bringing a voice to all the women who don't have one.
Just watched a video of Emma at Celtic Colours and I am very impressed!
Incredible music! Was certainly surprised to see Carol Ann who is my grade 9 teacher.
She’s awesome lol
Typing through tears. This is incredible. Thank you so much.
Thanks for supporting MMIW. Steve Bissell, Brothertown elder and Peacemaker
You are an inspiration to our people. Thank you for your powerful voice and beautiful music.
I have only discovered Emma tonight, and I am SO IMPRESSED! Emma, I hope you keep singing, and doing it in your own language, too! If you choose to make that your career, I know you can be successful. Even when you hit those bumps in the road, never give up! Always remember that you have an incredible voice, and you can do anything you want - even if record executives tell you otherwise! Don’t take “no” for the final answer. I would love to go to one of your concerts someday! I wish you the best the world can offer you!
this is so beautiful... wela'lin emma.
Thank you again we have been enjoying this song almost daily for 6 months. My daughter loves dancing to it and asks me to play the eagle song again and again! Your message is so beautiful and helps us send prayers to our relatives and all MMIWG2S
Beautiful song. You have a unique beautiful voice. Keep singing and making music.
This is wonderful! Hello from Ontario, Canada!
Very cool, well done all around. Great song and performance. Thank you for this music. The message of the video is appreciated. I am grateful to have heard the song and seen the video
Powerful song, thank you for sharing
She has such a beautiful voice I always love watching videos of her singing
I love your voice tuse. You have so much talent and beauty to share with the world. You also make me want to follow my late grandmother's foot steps " Sarah Denny" oq... I wanna teach Mi'kmaq dancing; while I chant the song's she sang when I was young girl. I stayed away from our culture bc of my alcohol and drug abuse; out of respect for our culture. Now... I think I am ready to shine like I never did before. I know this is my calling and wish to share and teach our culture to who ever want's to learn. You don't even know how much I look up to you and what your doing. You inspire me to do more then what I already accomplished in my life. I love music and been playing the guitar since I was 10 year's old and writing song's since I was 13 year's old. I only sang my song's to few ppl that are close to me. Maybe I should start sharing my music too. Keep up the beautiful work your doing tuse. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Great work in Allison Bernard H. S.
This is real tragedy, and you find words and music to remember.
Thank You so much, Emma! This is such a wonderful song - I'm a woman, a Mom, I have a young daughter: this is such an important topic - You did it with this song!!
Wonderful song and video. They are not forgotten
Thank You . . .
As well as a testimonial to the talent, ingenuity and suffering of our indigenous neighbours and original Cape Bretoners, it also underlines the contributions of Carter Chiasson to the Eskasoni community.
Wow, this song deserves waay more views, Emma Stevens has real talent I hope she makes it out of this little town.. keep up the awesome job
Beautiful 💚
Brought me to tears. Thank you Emma, you just need to keep on doing what you are doing. You are a national treasure! Somehow you manage to make me feel both proud and ashamed to call myself Canadian. When I hear your voice - both the timbre and the message, I gain a renewed sense of hope for humanity. Keep up the good work!
Wow! This is such an empowering song. Great resource for teachers. Emma you are amazing!
Beautiful and haunting. Thank you for this important song.
Omg! This song Welalin is beautiful. Couldn’t pick a better trio. Excellent

This is beautiful. How can we purchase the song and support the arts program?
Such a powerful song and video. Wela'lioq!
This song and video gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. Such a message of strength and so joyful. Gives me such hope.
Such a pure and absolutely lovely voice
Wonderful song. And wonderfully produced. Thanks to all who had a hand in it. Don't stray too far or too long from your culture. The insights gained over thousands of years in the nature of the land and the spirit that we share is profound. That is your refuge, not modern consumer society - which has to be accepted for what it is.
She's the next big teen star!
Truly beautiful.
This is so beautiful ❤️
love this, song, interpret, voice and message✌
Powerful stuff.
Miigwetch niin'miikawaadad niijiikwe!

I have seen 2 more missing women since my last post a month ago maybey??! You may be missing them, but, they are right there with , you, telling you not to worry, my friend, my relative!!? I still do not know why they stop by here. On their way home!!
My beautiful girlfriend with the most amazing voice in the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was like "aww sister, you don't wanna do that!" Let's change that.
The gal with acoustic guitar, "I miss you" title of song, I saw her,, you'll maybey tell me she is still alive?!
I listen to this song more than a few times one night, wake up with the sun coming up over neighbors roof, above the creek,, I see the gal with the acoustic guitar,, rising sun is right behind her head, light shining thru her hair,,, I do not see them like 3 times a week any more, just occasionally, that's all, she would probably say, have fun, don't worry about me,, don't try to play detective,, just a split second I see them, between sleep and being awake!? Sometimes in middle of day, another time, I will see a light coming up the country road, following the curves,, maybey it's the kid on his bycycle,, not this time!! Go too gas station, she will start talking over the p.a. where you talk to the cashier over the speaker by the pump, next thing the cashier comes out of the mini mart, looking like he just saw a ghost, scared , look on his face!!? That's enough,, they come like they used too,, tho', like 3 times a week!! No lol!? I have no idea,, my tribes are gone, maybey a medicine man would know,the reasons?? Good song , I wanna rise,, like lac a wanna New York,, must have been more of us,, French liked us enough, name a lake after us,
Weltek🥲💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Beautiful! Where can I buy the single?
Just listen to Emma's singing again!! Woke up to another gal crossed bridge two mornings ago?? Maybey women should start carrying a small gun they can hide!!
Maybey all knife,, ?? Long as women doesn't get charges against her??! I don't know?? Sometimes, a different place,, where not handed one bad set of circumstances after another,, clear one hurdle, surprise? Here's a few more for you??? No lol
I give up trying to post comment,, keep loosing the page, think already said it all once anyway, good sound, important content, the police can't find the trail, someone just disappears?! I would make a horrible detective, put the wrong person thru a mess like that???!
But occasionally "they" still come to See me, I don't know why,, most of time a smile, like I made it home, other times a scouwl like, I was not done yet, I went too sherrif, they sent me to the nut ward, but
oh why she throw her phone could’ve gave it to me ffs
yOU ARE THE FIRST AND YOU WILL BE THE LAST ...OMEGA.
Me rambling again,,, police know the stats!?? How many strangers drive across the Rez to buy tax free cigarettes anymore?? Hundreds of years of violence??, How strong can a person be???
Casino traffic????
“tami elien?!” idk why people don’t believe I’m her cousin. Through my step-dad
There is no sin in the hearts of ANY 2 people in love.We have no control over who our hearts love. Jesus said your treasure is where your heart lies.Mine lays on my chest. There is sin in lust as in rape,child molesting,child sex trafficking,girl genital mutilations,pornography etc In Mathew 6 Jesus teaches us how to pray. He said go to your room and close the door and do it in secret as your Fathr sees in secrets.Only God knows your true heartGod is not religious or keep any holy days.Every day with the Lord is Holy.Jesus wants you to have a personal relationship with God The one. Following Jesus you will go to heaven or hell as the Church tells you Its their law. Near Death Experiences on youtube will show you.Jesus saves.Let God be yoour judge jury and executioner .Ask for a sign and one will be given. Jesus was a flower child a free spirit. God is not religious God is LOVE. iTS A GOOD VIBRATION
