Born the Same, Rise Apart

(Verse 1)

It’s not wise to judge, yeah, that’s what they say,

By appearances or what’s in the way.

Are we all equal, tell me, are we the same?

Or just chasing shadows, in a losing game?

(Pre-Chorus)

They say Heaven never made one above another,

But the world keeps drawing lines between each other.

We’re born in light, we breathe the same air,

But somewhere along the road — life’s not fair.

(Chorus)

We’re born the same, but we rise apart,

Some fade away, some make their mark.

Equality feels like a dream we chase,

But merit writes the truth on every face.

Yeah, we rise apart… we rise apart.

(Verse 2)

Academic fires, the will to strive,

That’s what keeps a dream alive.

Some stand tall, others break down,

Some wear wings, others wear a crown.

(Pre-Chorus)

People change, hearts rearrange,

Over time, nothing stays the same.

We talk about fairness, we sing of peace,

But effort’s the road that brings release.

(Chorus)

We’re born the same, but we rise apart,

Some fade away, some make their mark.

Equality feels like a dream we chase,

But merit writes the truth on every face.

Yeah, we rise apart… we rise apart.

(Bridge)

Truth be told, it’s a hard reality,

Equality’s a fantasy in this society.

We deny the fact, we live and we lie,

But merit’s the wings that let us fly.

(Final Chorus)

We’re born the same, but we rise apart,

Some break the chains, some fall in the dark.

If effort’s the fire, then hope’s the spark,

We rise apart… we rise apart.
