(Verse 1)
I saw you standing in the shadows,
Fighting battles no one sees.
Illness tried to steal your thunder,
I watched it helplessly, bring ing you to your knees.
But brother, you were born a warrior,
You were carved from something strong.
And even when your body trembles,
Your spirit keeps holding on.
(Pre‑Chorus)
I know the nights get heavy,
I know the pain runs deep.
But you’re still here, still breathing,
And the world still needs your heartbeat.
(Chorus)
Brother, rise —
You are more than all this pain.
You are thunder in the distance,
You are fire in the rain.
When the darkness tries to claim you,
When you feel you’ve had enough,
Brother, rise —
You were made of stronger stuff.
(Verse 2)
Twenty years we walked as strangers,
Life pulled us far apart.
But fate brought me back beside you,
And it broke and healed my heart.
I saw the man you used to be,
And the fighter you still are.
You’re a storm that won’t surrender,
You’re a wounded, burning star.
(Pre‑Chorus)
You don’t have to stand alone now,
You don’t have to face the night.
Lean on me when you are shaking,
I’ll be your borrowed strength, your light.
(Chorus)
Brother, rise —
You are more than all this pain.
You are thunder in the distance,
You are fire in the rain.
When the darkness tries to claim you,
When you feel you’ve had enough,
Brother, rise —
You were made of stronger stuff.
(Bridge)
You are not your diagnosis,
You are not your broken days.
You are every time you stood back up,
You are every prayer you raised.
And if the night tries to take you,
I’ll stand guard until it’s through.
Your not alone —
I’ll be right next to you.
(Final Chorus — Big, Ascending)
Brother, rise —
Let your heartbeat shake the shadows,
Let your spirit start to burn.
You are still a living miracle,
You are still enough.
Brother, rise —
You were made of stronger stuff.
Brother, rise —
You are loved, and that’s enough.
