We Rise Up

Intro

Hold the line, breathe in, breathe out (oh)

Hands up slow — feel the ground (ah-ah)

Verse

I counted every small beginning, every little seam

Kept my pockets full of promises and a pocketknife for dreams

Walked on streets that taught me how to steady my own hands

Learned the turn, learned the fall, learned how to stand again

Soft light through the curtain, a clean room and a plan

Quiet mornings, whispered maps, the places where we ran

Nothing moved too fast — I kept the rhythm in my shoes

Slow steps, steady heart, I found my chosen truth (yeah)

Pre-chorus

Now the claps come in, feel the board beneath our feet (come on)

Kicks and stomps, the air gets thick, the moment's getting sweet (uh-huh)

Guitars lift like flags, the pads hold all the space (hold it)

Take a breath — we're ready now, put fire in the chase (put it)

Chorus

We rise up, we rise up, louder than before (rise up)

Stomp the ground, raise your voice, break the quiet door (yeah)

We rise up, we rise up, hands into the sky (into the sky)

This is ours, this is now, we’re alive, we’re alive (oh-oh)

We rise up, we rise up, louder than before (rise up)

Stomp the ground, raise your voice, break the quiet door (come on)

We rise up, we rise up, hands into the sky (into the sky)

This is ours, this is now, we’re alive, we’re alive (oh-oh)

Bridge

Strip it back — one voice, one breath (one)

Feel the space between the beats, the moment before we step (before we step)

No crowd, no noise, just the truth in what we said (say it)

Hold the line, hold the light, feel the roof lift overhead (lift it)

Chorus

We rise up, we rise up, louder than before (rise up)

Stomp the ground, raise your voice, break the quiet door (yeah)

We rise up, we rise up, hands into the sky (into the sky)

This is ours, this is now, we’re alive, we’re alive (oh-oh)

We rise up, we rise up, louder than before (rise up)

Stomp the ground, raise your voice, break the quiet door (come on)

We rise up, we rise up, hands into the sky (into the sky)

This is ours, this is now, we’re alive, we’re alive (oh-oh)

Outro

Hands still high, the night gives way — we own this sound

One last stomp, one last shout, we claim this ground (claim it)

We rise up, we rise up (we rise up)
