INTRO
[single stomp • clap]
Yeah.
⸻
VERSE 1
Feet on the ground, breath in my chest
I been low, I been pressed
Every doubt tried to pull me down
But I learned how to stand my ground
No lights, no throne, no disguise
Just my name and open skies
I don’t need a perfect sign
I just need the will to try
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
I felt the weight
I felt the fall
I felt the quiet after all
But something in me
Still replied
Get up.
Try again.
⸻
CHORUS
RISE — when the fear comes close
RISE — when the road feels broke
I don’t wait for the storm to pass
I RISE — I RISE
RISE — with the cracks I carry
RISE — still strong, still steady
I don’t need wings to touch the sky
I RISE — I RISE
[last “RISE” held, harmonies stack]
⸻
VERSE 2
Hands been shaking, heart been tired
Still I walk through the fire
I don’t run from what I feel
That’s the part that makes me real
Every scar got something to say
I survived another day
If the climb is all I get
I’ll take every step I can
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
I heard the doubt
Call my name
I didn’t answer
I stayed the same
⸻
CHORUS
RISE — even when I’m low
RISE — that’s the only code
I don’t need the ground to shake
I RISE — I RISE
⸻
BRIDGE (DROP EVERYTHING BUT STOMPS & VOICE)
Say it with me now
[call & response feel]
I fall — I RISE
I bend — I RISE
I break — I RISE
[beat snaps back in]
⸻
FINAL CHORUS (FULL, OPEN, UPLIFTING)
RISE — feel it in my bones
RISE — I’m not alone
Every breath is proof of life
I RISE — I RISE
⸻
OUTRO
[stomps fade, last vocal clean]
I rise.
