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
