Woke up broken, chains 'round my feet (feet)

Mama's prayers echo, but pain runs deep (deep)

Job gone yesterday, pockets stay empty (empty)

Friends switched up quick, left me in the trenches (trenches)

Doubts in my ear, sayin' give in (in)

But your voice cuts through, pull me from sin (sin)

Strength in my bones, ready to grow (grow)

No more waitin', time to stand tall (tall)

Sululu, sululu, touch the sky!

Sululu, sululu, touch the sky!

Verse

Now I walk steady, head held with pride (pride)

Scars tell my story, but joy on the ride (ride)

Devil tried to bury, but I rose from the dirt (dirt)

God's got my back, yeah, it had to hurt (hurt)

Bills get paid, doors swing wide open (open)

Bridge

*(Part A: soft choir)*

Ooooh...

*(Part B: spoken, dry, piano punctuates)*

I was down, lost in the dark, no light.

Hit rock bottom, cried through the night.

But He whispered my name, pulled me through the fight.

Now I'm free, yeah, victory's mine tonight.

*(Part C: full crash)*

Sululu, sululu, lift me up high! (high!)

Sululu, sululu, touch the sky! (sky!)

Sululu, sululu, break these chains! (chains!)

Sululu, sululu, we rise as one! (one!)

Sululu, sululu, the battle's won! (won!)

*(choir blasts: Sululu! Sululu! yeah!)*
