Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’re scrolling through another storm
Blue and red on every screen
Someone’s house under the waterline
And we still arguing teams
Kids in classrooms practicing drills
Like it’s some kind of game
Leaders talking in their suits again
But nothing really changes
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of tiny islands
Building thrones on sinking ground
What if every time we climbed
We turned around
[Chorus]
I rise when I lift you first
That’s the only way this works
If your knees are on the dirt
Then my crown is just a curse
So I’ll put my hands under your hands
Shoulder your world till we both stand
I don’t want to fly above this earth
I rise when I lift you first (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Headlines full of breaking hearts
Borders burning
Tempers high
People marching with their paper signs
Names of those who said goodbye
Someone shares a stranger’s bill
Crowds erase it in a day
Turns out when we carry one small weight
The mountains start to break
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m done with empty logos
Pretty posts and practiced smiles
Love is measured in the miles
We walk for someone else tonight
[Chorus]
I rise when I lift you first
That’s the only way this works
If your knees are on the dirt
Then my crown is just a curse
So I’ll put my hands under your hands
Shoulder your world till we both stand
I don’t want to fly above this earth
I rise when I lift you first
[Bridge]
When the sirens sound in cities we don’t live in (oh)
When the sky turns gray for faces we don’t know
We can turn away
Pretend it isn’t ours
Or open up our doors
Share the roof
Share the power
Share the hour
[Chorus]
I rise when I lift you first
That’s the only way this works
If your knees are on the dirt
Then my crown is just a curse
So I’ll put my hands under your hands
Shoulder your world till we both stand
If the whole wide world is hurt
Then my win just makes it worse
I don’t want a lonely place of worth
I rise when I lift you first (I rise)
I rise when I lift you first

Style
Anthemic pop-rock with female vocals, steady build from sparse piano and pulsing toms into a huge, stacked-chorus hook. Verses sit close and conversational, light guitar and airy pads; pre-chorus adds rising synths and gang claps; chorus explodes with wide drums, choir-style backing harmonies, and a soaring top line. Middle-eight strips to vocal and piano before final full-band, shout-along outro.
