Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cracked hands From a lifetime on the line Paychecks thin But we still show up on time They sell fear On every glowing screen But we’re tired of the nightmare Ready for a new dream [Chorus] We rise With the dirt on our faces We rise From the forgotten places Bruised and broken but we’re lookin’ in their eyes Sayin’ “you don’t get to own our lives” We rise We rise [Verse 2] They draw maps To keep our voices small Close doors Then build a higher wall But this ground Belongs to all of us From the backroads to the buses Every one of us enough [Chorus] We rise With the dirt on our faces We rise From the forgotten places Bruised and broken but we’re lookin’ in their eyes Sayin’ “you don’t get to own our lives” We rise We rise [Bridge] This ain’t rage for the sake of a riot (nah) This is love that refuses the quiet (hey!) From the kitchen to the picket line Every “no” turns to “this is our time” From the border towns to the Great Lakes shore From the cotton fields to the factory floors We’re the backbone they tried to ignore But not anymore, not anymore [Chorus] We rise With the dirt on our faces We rise From the forgotten places Bruised and broken but we’re lookin’ in their eyes Sayin’ “you don’t get to own our lives” We rise Hand in hand through the fire We rise On the truth we require Bruised and broken but we’re done with all the lies From the heartland to the coast we cry We rise We rise [Outro] We rise Every color, every name We rise Through the struggle, through the shame Bruised and broken but we’re standin’ side by side Big heads fall when the people decide We rise We rise (oh yeah) We rise
