Intro (Soft Choir – distant, echoing)
Ooooh… ahhh…
Ooooh…
(voices drifting like wind over water)
Choir (whispered):
Fall… and rise…
Fall… and rise…
Verse 1
We wandered through the ruins of our weakness
Carrying storms inside our bones
Every promise cracked like frozen glass
Every road a place we walked alone
Lead:
We tried to hide the trembling in our voices
Pretended we were stronger than we are
Choir (soft, breathy):
Ah… ah…
Hold on… hold on…
Lead:
But every heart was quietly breaking
Beneath the weight of who we were
Pre-Chorus
We built our walls out of fear and failure
Turned every scar into a chain
But even oceans start as raindrops
Before they learn to shape the waves
Choir (rising slowly):
Rise… rise…
Let the tide turn…
Chorus (Full Choir Enters)
Lead:
Here we stand where the night is breaking
Where the silence begins to sing
We were lost in our own reflection
Now we’re learning how to breathe
Choir (powerful):
We rise… we rise…
From the depths we rise
Lead:
Through the weakness and the falling
Through the doubts that haunt our sleep
Choir:
You are not alone
We were made to believe
Verse 2
We chased the echoes of our failures
Like shadows dancing in the flame
Every step felt like surrender
Every prayer a cry for change
Lead:
But every scar became a compass
Pointing somewhere past the pain
Choir (low, rhythmic):
Hold on… hold on…
Lead:
Maybe broken hearts remember
How to find the light again
Pre-Chorus
The fear still lingers in the silence
But it’s losing all its claim
Choir (building):
Breathe again…
Rise again…
Lead:
Even ashes hold the promise
Of a stronger flame
Final Chorus (FULL CHOIR — ANTHEMIC)
Lead:
Now we’re standing in the open water
Where the waves begin to roar
We were drowning in our weakness
But we’re not afraid anymore
Choir:
We are more than our fear
We are stronger than before
Lead:
Every voice that once was shaking
Now is rising from the deep
Choir (soaring):
It takes all of us
To heal, to change, to believe
From the ashes…
From the pain…
Together we rise again
Outro (Choir Only → Fade)
Ooooh…
Rise again…
Ooooh…
Into the light…
Choir (whisper):
We rise…
We rise…
