Rise Into the Light

Ay

I was counting all the cracks in the ceiling

Tryna patch up a heart that was bleeding

Morning hit my window like a promise

Said, get up, get up, you're still honest

I kept my weight in my pockets like stones

But the road kept calling me home

Every scar had a story to tell

Every fall was a run from the well

So I breathe in the fire

Without the shame, step by step, I'm not the same

Hands up high when the shadows come near

I found my voice and I'm standing right here

We rise, rise into the light

Breaking the chains, we're taking back life

Hands in the air, let the whole world know

We were made to heal, we were made to grow

We rise, rise, hear the crowd sing loud

Hearts on fire, head through the clouds

Nothing can hold what freedom has found

We rise, we rise, we rise right now

We rise right now

I watch the heavy days lose their color

Found my strength in the face of my brother

Sister on my left, I keep moving on

Every broken note turned into a song

Now the pain don't wound me, just made room

For a little more life, for a little more bloom

And if I stumble, I'll still stand tall

'Cause the same hard ground can teach us all

Say my name like a spark in the dark

We are the proof, we are the mark

From the low to the high, from the hurt to the cure

This love is loud, this freedom is sure

We rise, rise into the light

Breaking the chain

'Cause we're taking back life

Hands in the air, let the whole world know

We were made to heal, we were made to grow

We rise, rise, hear the crowd sing loud

Hearts on fire through the clouds

Nothing can hold what freedom has found

We rise, we rise, we rise right now

We rise right now

Yeah, we're rising
