[Verse 1]
You were holding up your doorframe
Like that frame could hold the sky
Rain was crawling up the staircase
While you watched your whole life float by
Sirens on a broken highway
Static on a drowning phone
Everybody lost a something
Some of us lost every home
[Chorus]
We will rise
Rise
Rise from the water
From the wind
From the waves
From the fire we remember
When the night feels too heavy to hold
We carry each other
We carry each other
Hand in hand through the wreckage and smoke
Every broken piece can still glow
We will rise
Rise
Rise from the water
We carry each other
We carry each other (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
I see names taped to the cots now
Marker on a paper tag
Little boy who lost his sandals
Still he wraps his coat like a flag
Strangers passing out dry blankets
Sharing stories
Sharing bread
In the middle of this heartache
Every kindness cuts through the dread
[Chorus]
We will rise
Rise
Rise from the water
From the wind
From the waves
From the fire we remember
When the night feels too heavy to hold
We carry each other
We carry each other
Hand in hand through the wreckage and smoke
Every broken piece can still glow
We will rise
Rise
Rise from the water
We carry each other
We carry each other (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
If you’re tired of being brave
You can fall apart with me
I will hold the weight you gave
Till you find your feet
Every tear becomes a river
Running to the sea of us
Look around
You’re not alone here
We’re a thousand beating hearts
[Chorus]
We will rise
Rise
Rise from the water
From the wind
From the waves
From the fire we remember
When the night feels too heavy to hold
We carry each other
We carry each other
Hand in hand through the wreckage and smoke
Every broken piece can still glow
We will rise
Rise
Rise from the water
We carry each other
We carry each other (oh-oh)
