Prompt / Lyrics
Walking down the cold Minneapolis streets Concrete river rushing at my feet Sirens cry where the lost hearts meet But I hear church bells in the back of my dreams Neon signs try to sell me truth Screens glow brighter than the proof But I still believe in red-dirt roads And a Bible worn with the pages broke Pre-Chorus Feels like something’s breaking through the noise Like a quiet fire finding voice I can feel it rising deep inside Chorus Rise — rise of the people now Faith like thunder, let it roll out loud Through the fear and the doubt and the lies they sell We’re the heartbeat ringing that freedom bell Eyes — eyes of the people see Hope ain’t dead, it’s alive in me From the city lights to the country steeple Stand up strong — it’s the rise of the people Verse 2 Tattoo on my ribs reads truth in ink “Eyes of the People” makes me stop and think Every small town prayer, every working hand Still holding tight to this promised land Mama’s voice saying don’t lose faith Truth don’t live in the noise they make And I’d trade these streets for a gravel drive Where the stars still show you you’re alive Pre-Chorus Yeah the silence louder than the crowd And the forgotten ain’t backing down I can feel that fire coming alive Chorus Rise — rise of the people now Faith like thunder, let it roll out loud Through the fear and the doubt and the lies they sell We’re the heartbeat ringing that freedom bell Eyes — eyes of the people see Hope ain’t dead, it’s alive in me From the city lights to the country steeple Stand up strong — it’s the rise of the people Bridge Maybe we forgot who we are Chasing shadows, counting scars But truth don’t fade when the night gets long It lives in the prayers we pray In the flags that still wave In the love that makes the broken strong Final Chorus Rise — rise of the people now Let heaven hear us shouting loud Through the storm, through the fire, through the darkest hour There’s a living faith and a greater power Eyes — eyes of the people see We’re the roots of this liberty From the city streets to the church-bell steeple Stand up strong — it’s the rise of the people Rise… rise… rise of the people
